Second round of large-scale renewable energy projects announced

The Ontario Power Authority has awarded 40 new contracts for more than 872 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy under the FIT Program, following the completion of the second phase of the Transmission Availability Test (TAT) and the Distribution Availability Test (DAT). 

These new contracts include 257 MW of solar projects and 615 MW of wind projects and are located across the province. They will generate enough energy to power 2000,000 homes. Five of the contracts have been awarded to community groups and one Aboriginal project has been approved.

This brings the total number of contracts awarded by the OPA under the FIT program to 1,570, representing 3,565 MW of clean, renewable energy for Ontario.

Thank you for your interest in the FIT Program.
