Two-year Feed-in-Tariff Review Released by Government of Ontario

The Government of Ontario released their two-year review of the Feed-In-Tariff ("FIT") Program, which included the following recommendations:

1. the reduction of prices - for solar projects by more than 20% and for wind projects by approximately 15% (see new price table below);
2. the creation of a point system to prioritize FIT Applications which have demonstrated community or Aboriginal participation and municipal support; and
3. reserving 10% of the remaining capacity for projects for those projects which have significant local or Aboriginal participation.
