Will applications for the FIT and microFIT Programs have to be approved?
Yes all FIT program applications will first be reviewed to make sure that all the required application materials have been completed. Applications will then be assessed to ensure they meet the program requirements and determine whether there is available connection capacity to connect projects to the grid before a contract can be signed. The OPAs target for completing the approval of complete FIT Program applications is 60 days. All applications to the microFIT Program will be reviewed by the OPA. If an application meets the program eligibility requirements, the OPA will send the applicant a conditional offer of contract. The OPA aims to complete the approval of microFIT Program applications within 30 days of receiving complete applications and any clarifications that might have been requested by the OPA.
