The Program includes four deployment streams which correlate to the technology and market maturity of projects as well as the types of projects supported. The Application process is the same for all streams. Each stream expects to support a specific sub-grouping of project types. All projects under the established renewables and emerging technologies streams capable of generating electricity will be required to offer the capability to provide grid services as defined in Section 5.2.The Program streams are listed below and defined in Section 6.2, with requested performance reporting detailed in Section 6.12:

Program Stream | Max Eligible % Total Project Costs | Maximum Eligible Funding |
Established Renewables | 10% | $50 million |
Emerging Technologies | 30% | $50 million |

The maximum funding percentage for a Project that falls under more than one stream will be determined according to the proportion of eligible expenditures in each Program stream. The maximum eligible percentage of Total Project Costs and maximum eligible funding for Strategic Dialogue Linked Projects will mirror that of the most appropriate of the other three Program Streams.
