Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Dual-fuel platform for utilities
1037383
Most existing buildings operating a natural gas–based heating system can be paired with an electric heat pump and controlled using the dual-fuel switching (DFS) platform. In this basic scenario, the DFS can select the energy source to minimize energy costs by considering the temperature dependent efficiency of the heat-pump and time-of-use price of electricity. When compared to its pre-retrofit condition (i.e., 100% natural gas) the DFS system operates with lower operational cost and emissions annually.
The Project will use NRC test facilities to obtain experimental data in a lab setting to further advance the capabilities of the DFS platform while demonstrating its efficacy in mitigating grid demand and fuel costs.
