Request for information: Artificial Intelligence and Energy Innovation

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks written feedback from all interested parties to help understand more fully the opportunity for AI to accelerate energy innovation in, and for, Canada. This includes input from individuals and groups, especially those with a particular perspective or experience related to the development, operation and testing of AI as it relates to practical use cases for advanced energy innovation.

Background

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to quickly deliver technology advances that lower the operational costs of energy, improve energy system effectiveness, accelerate the discovery of new energy materials, and thus support Canada’s energy transition through accelerated innovation.

Canada has already made significant investments, such as through the Pan Canadian AI Strategy and the Canadian Sovereign Compute AI Strategy, to become a global leader in developing next-generation AI solutions. Building on these investments, we are seeking to accelerate the pace of energy innovation using AI.

Deadline to submit: August 15, 2025
