Solar PV Incentives & Support in Canada Ontario Green Energy and Green Economy Act
Create 50,000 green economy jobs
Ontario Feed in Tariff (“FIT�) Program
Launched Oct. 1, 2009 20 year contract terms
Currently no Solar PV Federal Incentives Other Provinces looking at Solar PV support policies: British Columbia Saskatchewan Nova Scotia
Ontario ‌ Challenges Going Forward Ongoing Stability
Concern about Ontario provincial election and impact on FIT Program Sending the right signals to the market place Continuous monitoring and program improvement (i.e. REA process, etc)
Domestic Content Requirements
MicroFIT & FIT Program: Increase to 60% January 2011 Solar PV is a global industry Need to ensure that Governments are getting value for their investments
Developing Industry Capacity
Transmission/Distribution capacity Interconnection capabilities & measurement standards Evolving financing solutions Labour force development (i.e. installer certification) Research and development
Solar PV Export Opportunities Global Solar PV market growing at 40% – 50% annually Over 10,000 MW expected in 2010 US Market will be the world’s leading solar PV market Approximately 900 MW expected in 2010 Over 2,000 MW expected in 2011 Canada does $1 Billion worth of trade with US each day

What is our Energy Future?
In the long term, solar will be the end game.
Solar PV will drive the long term plan for sustainable electricity solutions.
Key Take Away Messages Solar PV provides cost competitive peak power Solar is the “Energy End Game� Strong solar export opportunities to the US Ontario Manufacturers / Investors need stable energy policy for continued success
