Will applications for the microFIT Program have to be approved by the OPA before receiving a contract?
All applications will be reviewed by the OPA for the microFIT Program. If an application meets the program eligibility requirements, the OPA will send the applicant a conditional offer of microFIT contract. The OPA aims to complete the approval of applications within 30 days of receiving complete applications and any clarification that might have been requested by the OPA. Applicants are responsible for contacting their local electricity distribution company about getting connected and must install the renewable energy system. It is also the responsibility of the applicants to ensure they have all the necessary building permits, environmental approvals and electricity inspections related to the size and type of their project.
