Government Grants + SR&ED for the Utilities & Renewables Industry
Utilities and renewable energy companies continuously invest in innovation to improve infrastructure, integrate new energy sources, and enhance system reliability. At AM Saxum, we help clients in this sector unlock significant funding opportunities, including Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit program—which reimburses up to 42.3% of eligible R&D expenditures.
SR&ED-eligible activities in this industry may include:
- Developing or improving smart grid and metering technologies
- Optimizing energy storage or load balancing systems
- Enhancing turbine, solar panel, or converter efficiency
- Integrating renewables with legacy grid infrastructure
- Experimenting with systems to reduce downtime, waste, or energy loss

What Our Clients Say
FAQ
Does AM Saxum provide on-site Lean Six Sigma training and certification?
Yes — for businesses, not for individuals. We offer tailored on-site Lean Six Sigma training and certification programs exclusively for companies. Our training is designed to address real operational challenges within your organization and is delivered by experienced consultants with hands-on industry expertise. At this time, we do not offer individual or public courses for private learners.
What types of businesses can benefit from the government grants AM Saxum supports?
How long does it take to receive SR&ED funding?
The timeline can vary, but most businesses receive SR&ED refunds within 3 to 6 months of filing their claim. If your company is filing for the first time, or if the CRA requests additional documentation, processing may take slightly longer. AM Saxum streamlines this process by preparing strong, audit-ready claims that reduce the likelihood of delays.
Do you only work with large companies?
Not at all. We work with businesses of all sizes—from small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations. Whether you’re a growing business looking to scale more efficiently or a mature organization aiming to improve profitability, our Lean and funding strategies are customized to fit your size, structure, and goals.
How do I know if my business is eligible for SR&ED or other grants?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including your business structure, the nature of your activities, and your location. If you’re conducting R&D, developing new products, or revising existing ones, or implementing new processes, you may qualify. AM Saxum offers a free initial assessment to determine your eligibility and identify the best funding options.
