Utilities and energy: grants you can apply for in Manitoba
Programs whose official page limits them to utilities and energy, and programs open to any industry whose federal records show at least 3 agreements to it. Departments record an industry on only some agreements, so the second group is a guide, not a full list: see every program in Manitoba.
Programs from the Government of Canada’s Business Benefits Finder (list of July 17, 2025) and 18 department and provincial funding lists. Status, dates and amounts are what each program’s official page said when we last checked it, October 14, 2026; a deadline that has passed since shows as passed. Confirm on the official page before you apply. How we check
