| Question: | What is a Behind The Meter Facility defined as for the purposes of the OPS FIT program? |
| Answer: |
There are two ways of connecting a generation facility:
1) directly connected, where the electricity is exported directly to the electricity grid; or 2) behind the meter, where the electricity is being consumed by the customer and any excess electricity generated is then exported to the electricity grid. The behind the meter facility in FIT program refers to the facility in scenario 2 described above. |
