Description:
With the passing of Ontario’s Green Economy and Green Energy Act, a micro-Feed-In-Tariff will be available to encourage small scale renewable energy projects in Ontario, Canada. This webinar will focus on opportunities for distributed generation and community power.
Deborah Doncaster, Executive Director of the Community Power Fund, and Kristopher Stevens, Executive Director of the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association, will bring their wealth of knowledge to the table to discuss community power and what Ontario’s new microFIT could mean for generators in Ontario. Highlights from the 1st Annual OSEA Community Power Conference taking place in Toronto, Ontario on November 15 -16, 2009, will also be discussed.
Jim MacDougall from the Ontario Power Authority will discuss funding and outreach support and opportunities that now exist with the microFIT for distributed generation and community power. How these financing mechanisms can work, how the Renewable Energy Facilitation Office (REFO) can help, and how stakeholders can engage will be on top of Jim’s agenda.
Finally, Ken Traynor of Our Power and the Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative will provide on-the-ground perspective from those who are purchasing and participating in community power. Key learnings, challenges, opportunities, recommendations, and uptake under the microFIT will be discussed. Learn how community power works in practice!
The webinar will take place from 12.30 - 2pm EST on 26th November. Click the website link below to register.
