OPA Issues 700 MicroFit Contracts for Solar Rooftops

The Ontario Power Authority issued 700 contracts today (Dec 16) for MicroFit Solar PV systems. These solar installations will be paid 80.2 cents per kilowatt hour (kWH) for the next 20 years, for every kWh of power produced.

The OPA started to accept contract applications on October 1st 2009. Over 2200 applications have been received to date.

Wind, hydro, biomass and biogas are included in the OPA’s renewable energy feed-in tariffs. Ontario plans to close all coal-fired generating stations by 2014 or sooner. This renewable energy FiT will be a major contributor to that goal.
