Subject:  Proponent residency requirements under FIT
ID:  10709
Date:  8/28/2009
Question:  What, if any, are the residency requirements under the FIT program for a commercial project proponent wishing to obtain a feed in tariff under the Green Energy Act?
i.e. assuming it met all other eligibility requirements, would an American company who directly owned a project located in Ontario be eligible? What if the direct owner of the energy project was a Canadian company, but that Canadian company was owned by an American parent?
Answer:  There are no residency requirements under the FIT Program. The Applicant must be able to demonstrate that they have obtained access to the site (eg land lease agreement, ownership etc).
