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.

Agreement:

Accelerated Digital Twin Enabled Transformer Design Platform

Agreement Number:

1038108

Duration: from Jan 1, 2026 to Jun 30, 2027
Description:

CES Transformers is launching a world-class advanced manufacturing and testing facility that will establish Canada as a leader in high-efficiency, low-carbon transformer technology. The project will integrate AI-driven design, electrical and mechanical, simulation, and new Haefely Test Equipment, to reduce development cycles from weeks to days, enabling faster delivery of grid-ready products. It will be instrumental in helping to create over 145 skilled Canadian jobs, with 40 FTEs by 2029 from this project. These will directly support EV and clean energy growth, and significantly reduce Canada’s carbon footprint through efficient, high-performance transformer production.

Agreement:

Ultra-High Efficiency Pole Mount Transformer for Electric Vehicle Electrical Distribution Grid

Agreement Number:

1015442

Duration: from Feb 1, 2024 to Aug 29, 2024
Description:

This project is to develop a new family of ultra-high efficiency pole-mount industrial transformers which are being developed as part of a massive initiative to build an infrastructure to support the electrical vehicle energy supply system for Toronto and the greater Ontario developing regions. The required levels of efficiency, longevity and overall performance represents a significant deviation from the current products available on the market and the project will require significant investment for design and testing.
