ÉcoPerformance — Implementation of large industrial projects

For large industrial operators in Quebec facing rising energy costs and increasing pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the ÉcoPerformance – Implementation of Large Industrial Projects stream can provide meaningful financial support to move major projects forward. Designed for energy‑intensive facilities, this program helps offset the cost of ambitious initiatives that go beyond standard practices, such as deep energy efficiency upgrades, fuel switching, or reducing fugitive emissions from industrial processes.

Administered by the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs, this ÉcoPerformance component is geared toward established enterprises in manufacturing, energy, utilities, and clean technology that operate industrial sites in Quebec. Funding is non‑repayable and can reach up to approximately $40 million per project, covering a significant share of eligible expenses. This level of support is intended to make large, capital‑intensive projects financially viable, particularly those that require substantial upfront investment but deliver long‑term emissions reductions. Eligible costs may include engineering work, equipment purchases, installation, commissioning, and measurement activities tied directly to GHG reductions.

The program is generally ongoing and targets projects that deliver measurable, additional emissions reductions rather than routine compliance upgrades. For industrial businesses planning major decarbonization investments and looking to reduce financial risk, ÉcoPerformance can be a powerful lever.
