Question:  Can current contract holders at 42 cents hour get the new proposed rate when the new energy act is passed?
Answer:  Please see Section 2 - Project Eligibility Requirements of the draft FIT rules. Sub-section 2.1 (a), part (vii) which states:

(a) To be eligible to participate in the FIT program, a proposed generating facility must:

(vii) not have or have had a physical or financial power or capacity purchase contract relating to the generation of Electricity by such proposed facility, or other form of contract relating to Electricity or Related Products relating to such proposed facility. For greater certainty, this includes Standard Offer Contracts.

Only projects that are in development but have not yet executed a contract for the power produced are eligible to apply to the FIT program.
