The Innovative Clean Energy Fund was created in 2007 to encourage the development of new sources of clean energy and technologies to help support local economies and livelihoods in communities across B.C.
The ICE Fund:
- Addresses energy and environmental priorities identified by government
- Showcases technologies that solve problems in B.C. and other jurisdictions and that have international market potential
- Supports “pre-commercial” energy technology or commercial technologies not currently used in B.C., and
- Demonstrates the commercial viability of new energy technologies.
Since 2008, over $72 million has been approved for 56 projects in over 37 communities across B.C. These projects represent a total value of over $390 million and showcase a variety of clean energy technologies including solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, ocean wave and bioenergy.
