Canadian communities can apply for federal funding from January 5 to 30, 2026, through the CanExport Community Investments Program to enhance readiness for clean-energy investment. This funding can subsidize a BDO Zone Rating, which has facilitated over $10 billion in capital for rated projects. A notable example is the $845-million Provectus Biofuels plant announced in Vegreville, Alberta, demonstrating the impact of an investment grade rating in attracting significant investment.
