On September 30, 2014, the Ontario Power Authority (the "OPA") posted an updated FIT/microFIT price schedule.

The updated price schedule was made pursuant to a directive dated August 29, 2014 from the Ontario Minister of Energy, the Hon. Bob Chiarelli, and is part of an annual review by the OPA of prices offered to generators under the FIT/microFIT programs.

The new price schedule is effective September 30, 2014 for FIT projects (including FIT contracts offered through the extended FIT 3 procurement, but not those FIT contracts offered pursuant to the July 30, 2014 Offer List) and January 1, 2014 for microFIT projects (including Application Approval Notices issued on or after January 1, 2014).
