OTTAWA March 10, 2010 - The Canadian Solar Industries Association welcomed the Ontario Power Authority's announcement of green-lighted Feed-in-Tariff projects, noting it was a great day for solar in Ontario. "More than 500 new green energy projects are listed and most of them solar power installations," said Ron Mantay, General Manager, Solar, Schuco Canada Inc. and a member of the CanSIA Board of Directors representing the association at the announcement. "The wide variety of rooftops that will be covered by solar panels will go a long way to reducing Ontario's carbon footprint by offering stable pricing to renewable energy producers. We tip our hats to the Ontario Government for their championing our children's futures." "Solar in Ontario is becoming a reality thanks to the Green Energy Act and the landmark-setting FIT program," said Elizabeth McDonald, CanSIA President. "The fact retail stores, schools, hospitals and even a church see the richness solar offers the future is evidence of the power of the sun and everyone's growing understanding of how it can be harnessed." "We applaud the Ontario Government and Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Brad Duguid for taking the lead for Canada, not only for Ontario but with this forward-thinking program - in all of North America." The Ontario Power Authority announced today the first approved FIT applications for facilities up to 500 kilowatts which can be connected to the electricity grid without the detailed impact assessments necessary for larger projects.

The Canadian Solar Industries Association's mission is to develop a strong, efficient, ethical and professional Canadian solar industry, able to service an expanding domestic energy market, to provide innovative solar solutions to world energy problems, and to play a major role in promoting the transition to a solar energy future worldwide. -30- |
