A feed-in tariff or FIT is a straightforward way to contract for renewable energy generation. It provides standardized program rules, prices and contracts. The program is divided into two streams - FIT and microFIT. The FIT Program is for renewable energy projects that can generate more than 10 kilowatts (kW) of electricity. Very small projects, at a home or small business, that can generate 10 kW or less come under the microFIT Program.

For information on the FIT or microFIT program visit the Ontario Power Authority at fit.powerauthority.on.ca

If you have any site or connection related questions for your renewable project or if you plan to proceed with a renewable installation (completing and forwarding Form B for your FIT project or Form C for your microFIT project) please contact:
