Toronto, Canada [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]
Ontario today launched the province's long-awaited program of feed-in tariffs in response to its ground-breaking Green Energy Act.
In early 2009, CanSIA suggested that solar PV alone could make up 10 percent of Ontario's electricity supply by 2025.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure George Smitherman, and Minister of the Environment John Gerretsen made the announcement against the iconic backdrop of Toronto's cooperatively-owned wind turbine.
This was the last in a series of announcements on implementation of the Green Energy Act this week by Energy Minister Smitherman.
The announcements began with Minister Smitherman opening the Canadian Wind Energy Association's annual conference in Toronto. At the conference's plenary session on Monday, September 21, Smitherman revealed a $2.3 billion (CAD) plan to build new transmission and distribution lines in the province to rapidly develop Ontario's renewable energy potential."
