This Friday, September 28, the Climate Change Lawyers Network
(CCLN) will be hosting a session for anyone interested in the
encouraging renewable energy community power projects. Presented in
coordination with the Ontario Non-Profit Network, the session is a
great opportunity to learn more about opportunities for community
renewable power development in Ontario.Through a series of panel
discussions, the speakers will briefly describe: the climate change
challenge that the Ontario Green Energy and Economy Act
was enacted to address; the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Program; the
experience with community power in other jurisdictions; the
community power incentives and assistance under the FIT Program
(including the Community Energy Partnership Program); and the steps
that not-for-profit entities, such as community groups, can take to
participate in the FIT Program.
A full agenda, and registration information, is available on the
CCLN's website.
