The objective of the Commercial Projects Program is to fund projects that have a greater probability of commercial success.
Starting in 2026-2027, this program shall fund projects through two streams:
- The Main Stream, a selective process in which projects are evaluated based on their potential to attain stated commercial objectives, demonstrate business opportunity and achieve profitability.
- The Third-Party Investment Stream, a first-come first-serve pilot initiative for projects that have a viable locked financing plan including a minimum 25% of bona-fide third-party investment at the time of application.
