FIT and microFIT Program

The Ontario Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program allows homeowners, business owners and private developers to generate renewable energy and sell it to the province at a guaranteed price for a fixed contract term. You can apply to the FIT program if you use one or more forms of renewable energy, including wind, waterpower, biomass and biogas, solar photovoltaic (PV) power and landfill gas.

The FIT program, administered by the Ontario Power Authority, is the first comprehensive feed-in tariff program in North America. It is divided into two streams depending on the number of kilowatts of electricity that are created.

FIT program

The FIT program is available for renewable energy projects greater than 10 kilowatts. It is open to all types of generators, including developers, community groups and even individual homeowners.

microFIT program

The microFIT program is for renewable energy projects of 10 kilowatts or less. This program is of interest to homeowners, farmers and small business owners, as well as institutions, such as schools and places of worship.
