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:

Development of Pandemic and Post-Pandemic Operations and Digital Platform Enhancement of Solar Access Performance Assessment and Optimization

Agreement Number:

954216

Duration: from May 11, 2020 to Nov 30, 2020
Description:

Heliolytics builds tools that focus on the optimization of solar farms, which centralizes on sending out their equipment and personnel out to perform those services. With 90% of our market being outside of Canada, the current restrictions created by COVID-19 have forced us to reevaluate our main operations and explore alternative options to enable us to have a sustainable business and remain engaged with our clients. This project enables us to build the tools we need to be competitive during the limitations that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, (recognizing that even when businesses re-open locally, international travel could be significantly limited). In addition to coping with the pandemic, these tools will continue to add value
