I believe the Ontario power authority should compensate both renewable wind energy and solar PV equally. The cost comparison of 13.5 cents wind to 80.2 cents solar /KWH is ridiculous. I am in the country. It would be my advantage to use wind. If I was in the city it would be my advantage to use solar. Why is there such a big discrepancy?

Wind energy and solar PV have different rates because each technology has very different costs associated with purchasing, installing and maintaining the project (solar PV panels are much more expensive than wind turbines) . The prices are in fact designed to compensate all technologies equally - this means that at the end of the 20 year contract, a wind project would earn approximately what a solar PV project would earn (after recovering the costs of purchasing, installing and maintaining the project).
