Community-based projects are eligible to receive a graduated incentive, based on the percentage of local ownership, of up to 1 cent/kWh in addition to standard feed-in tariff rates. The Municipal Renewable Energy Program will provide support to munic- ipalities for extra infrastructure costs associated with renewable energy projects, for example, repairs to road and drainage infrastructure and traffic management. This funding is intended to cover costs over and above those that the project developers should bear. Under the $250 million Aboriginal Loan Guarantee Program, Aboriginal communities will be eligible for loan guarantees that will allow them to take on equity participation in renewable generation and transmission projects. The program will facilitate Aboriginal ownership in energy projects by pro- viding loan guarantees for up to 75% of an Aboriginal corporation’s equity in an eligible project. The Aboriginal Energy Partnerships Program will build capacity and par- ticipation by providing funds for com- munity energy plans, feasibility stud- ies, technical research, and business plan development, and creating an Ab- original Renewable Energy Network. Aboriginal communities will also be eligible, under certain conditions, for price incentives as part of the feed-in tariff program.
