Renewable energy research and innovation centre Nergica receives financial contribution of $1,478,839 from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.

The package is broken down as follows: 

$1,050,000 over the next three years intended to structure, sustain and develop Quebec’s solar PV industry as well as to support innovation in this sector. 

A grant of $428,839 to allow Nergica to procure specialized equipment for microgrids, decentralized production and wind energy. 

In late April, Nergica will publish a study entitled Solar PV in the Quebec Energy Mix, which will present recommendations for structuring the solar photovoltaic industry in Quebec. This represents the first in-depth study on the subject. The contribution by Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions will notably help support businesses in developing a PV market and value chain in Quebec in accordance with the study’s recommendations. 

The acquisition of specialized equipment will provide a boost to Nergica’s activities in the fields of microgrids, energy storage and wind power in order to better support the industry.
