Caring for our earth

Smart use of our energy resources is key to caring for our environment and ensuring our power generation techniques remain sustainable. We look for new technologies and ideas, joining you in this effort. Because each of us can do our part.

Feed-in Tariff Program

Ontario's feed-in tariff or FIT Program is North America's first comprehensive guaranteed pricing structure for renewable electricity production. It offers stable prices under long-term contracts for energy generated from renewable sources, including:

biomass
biogas
landfill gas
on-shore and off-shore wind
solar photovoltaic (PV)
waterpower

The FIT Program was enabled by the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, 2009 which was passed into law on May 14, 2009. The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is responsible for implementing the program.

By encouraging the development of renewable energy in Ontario, the FIT Program will:

help Ontario phase out coal-fired electricity generation by 2014 - the largest climate change initiative in North America
boost economic activity and the development of renewable energy technologies
create new green industries and jobs

Feeling the chill?

You don't have to turn up the heat to stay warm and toasty.

Seal cold, drafty gaps around your windows and doors with weather stripping and door sweeps. Keeps the cold air out, the warm air in, and the electricity savings in your wallet.
