Agricultural Clean Technology Program.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)

Federal program providing grants covering a significant share of eligible capital costs for on-farm clean energy systems including solar PV. Applies to qualifying agricultural operations across all provinces.

Stackable with the Clean Technology ITC and Enhanced CCA — the combination can substantially reduce on-farm project costs.

{/* Warning callout */}

Competitive funding rounds — not a standing rebate.{' '} Application windows must be confirmed before project decisions are modelled against this stream.

The BC Hydro incentive stack.

BC Hydro · Demand Response Framework

British Columbia operates one of the deepest behind-the-meter incentive frameworks in Canada — pairing direct cost recovery for grid-displacement projects with capital support for battery storage that participates in BC Hydro's demand response. Both programs stack with federal capital incentives.

The specific amount depends on system size, load profile, and current program schedules confirmed at project scoping.' }, { q: 'Do any of these programs require an energy study before applying?', a: 'Some do. The saveONenergy Retrofit Program requires a qualifying energy study as part of the application. That same documentation also supports BEPS compliance reporting, making it useful well beyond the incentive application itself.' }, { q: 'Are there specific incentive programs for farms and agricultural facilities?', a: 'Yes — the AAFC Agricultural Clean Technology Program provides grants covering a significant share of on-farm solar costs.
