Ministry Directive: Constrained microFIT Projects
In order to help facilitate participation in the microFIT program by applicants who have been unable to connect their projects ("Constrained Applicants"), the Minister of Energy has directed the OPA to allow any Constrained Applicant with one project the option to relocate their project from the original location to another location in Ontario upon written notice to the OPA.
The OPA is also directed to allow any Constrained Applicant with more than one project that cannot be connected ("Constrained Project") the option to combine and relocate up to 50 Constrained Projects, having a combined nameplate generation capacity of up to 500 kW, from the original locations to any one new location in Ontario upon written notice to the OPA. Finally, the OPA is directed to allow any Constrained Applicant the option to assign any or all of their Conditional Offer(s) to another Constrained Applicant that is either an Eligible Participant or a co-operative incorporated under the Co-Operative Corporations Act (Ontario).
