DANCOR

"Dancor has enjoyed the entire development and construction experience in the City of London and has plans to develop and build in the City for many years to come. London is a great City and has a wonderful business atmosphere. This amazing accomplishment of completing this new building in just 168 days is the result of many great partnerships. First and foremost, the LEDC made it possible for Dancor to see the amazing opportunities London has to offer. The City of London staff, each and every department, made sure that we could start building as soon as possible in order to meet the very tight schedule."

Government Programs

The Province of Ontario has introduced new regulations to support the implementation of the Green Energy Act, including the creation of Canada's first feed-in tariff program which will be administered by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA). “Feed-in Tariff” refers to the specific price paid to renewable energy suppliers for the green energy they produce.

The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) and microFIT programs are being launched by the OPA onOctober 1st, 2009. The Final Rules and the Contracts for both FIT and microFIT programs are available on the official Feed-in Tariff Program website. The microFIT program is highly simplified and the contract issuance process is different from the FIT program.

The generators will be allowed to sell their entire electricity measured at the output of the generator at an established electricity rate according to the different types of resources utilized. Payments to the generator under the FIT/microFIT will be made by OPA through a settlement process between the generator and the distributor, according to the requirements of the Retail Settlement Code (RSC).

Detailed program overviews for the FIT and microFIT are available on the Feed-in Tariff Program website for potential renewable projects proponents in preparing for the application process.
