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.

Grid3.0: The InterGrid

Agreement Number:

1029012

Duration: from Mar 4, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

eCAMION envisions Grid 3.0:the Intergrid, an advanced power network of interconnected Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) controlled through a virtual network using LTE+/5G technology. This intelligent grid will enable automation, advanced network management, diagnosis, and proactive maintenance for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), Grid 3.0 will function as a self-healing infrastructure, efficiently distributing energy within the power network to offset peak power demand.

To develop this innovative grid, eCAMION focuses on three key areas: ultra-efficient modular converters for high power density, optimized thermal management for electronics (Power Converter and Lithium-ion cells), and the utilization of 5G/LTE+ networks and AI for seamless control and decision-making. Grid 3.0 aims to address challenges hindering the mass adoption of EVs, such as inadequate charging infrastructure and grid resiliency. By transforming the EV charging landscape, eCAMION's Grid 3.0 will pave the way for a more sustainable and decarbonized future in transportation.
