Together with our employees, we believe in investing our charitable dollars to help build strong, healthy communities where our customers and employees live and work. PowerPlay does just that by helping fund great, safe community facilities where kids can play and grow.
NOTE: Before proceeding, please ensure the facility you are applying for is serviced directly by Hydro One.
What community programs are eligible?
Grants of up to $25,000 are available for capital projects for community centres, indoor or outdoor ice rinks, playgrounds, splash pads, sports fields — facilities where the primary purpose is to support children’s community sports and active play. Applications for new facilities and the renovation of existing facilities will be considered.
Priority is given where energy efficiency measures are incorporated into the project. If your project has energy efficiency retrofits and you would like to see if additional funding is available, please apply separately through our Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program (ERIP).
