Hello All,

 

Please see the summary information on the Small FIT. Set out below:  Essentially, 1/3 of total 146MW issued were Aboriginal projects.   

 

I wouldn't be surprised if this percentage of 1/3 Aboriginal is maintained in the Competitive RFP. This is the theme that is emerging and it works optically for all stakeholders.

Good Morning OSEA Members, Friends and Supporters,

 

Yesterday the OPA announced 951 Small Feed-in Tariff renewable energy contract offers representing 146.5 MW.  Here are some fast facts:

  • 825 MW of applications were received
  • 98% of the successful applications received municipal council support resolutions
  • 934 projects are solar PV, 16 bio-energy and one water power
  • The projects are expected to bring $750 million in investment and create 2,200 jobs in Ontario
  • 46 MW (219 projects) have aboriginal participation
  • 27.8 MW (136 projects) have community participation

OSEA continues to work to secure the Ministry of Energy and OPA's commitment to:

1.      Provide rejected applicants with a detailed breakdown of the reasons for their rejection.

2.      That applications rejected in this round retain their timestamp priority for resubmitted applications during the Fall window.

OSEA's earlier recommendation that unfilled capacity in the previous 200MW application window following the TAT/DAT testing be allocated to the Fall 2013 application window has been adopted.

Thank you for your ongoing support of OSEA and efforts to work with us to transform Ontario's energy system, driving Ontario's prosperity.

 

Regards,
