Saint John Energy Inc, on the other hand, will get CAD 5.25 million for the Advanced Digital Distribution System Operator project in Saint John, New Brunswick, to modernise the city’s electricity distribution through intelligent grid management systems.

At the same time, Maritime Electric Company Ltd will use CAD 2 million in funding to demonstrate the integration of smart-grid technology through the public cellular network in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Other initiatives being financed will support smart metering infrastructure, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), and a solar project for the Millbrook First Nation. The latter will partner with Imperial Oil to repurpose idled tank lots near Truro, Nova Scotia.
