(2) If the OPA implements alternative settlement mechanics, as contemplated in Section 4.4.8 of the microFIT Contract, will such mechanics at least be conditional on not imposing any material increase in costs on the Supplier?

(3) Will the OPA make it clear that if the OPA doesn't pick up costs to effect the transfer of Environmental Attributes to the OPA, as contemplated in Section 5.2 and 5.3 of the microFIT Contract, the Supplier shall be under no obligation to incur such costs?

(4) I think it is unfair to deny the Supplier a chance to cure a default and avoid termination. This is most inconsistent with market practice, even for an agreement like this. Recognizing there are few obligations imposed on the Supplier, will the OPA reconsider the default language in the microFIT Contract and provide notice in writing of a default, and an opportunity to cure within, say, 30 days after such notice, before a termination can take effect?

(5) Please explain the meaning and relevance of Section 3.1(d) of the microFIT Program Rules.

(6) Does section 8.3.1 of the microFIT Contract mean that a micro project must be up and running by December 31, 2010 and providing hourly data? If not, will the OPA clarify that the requirement is that after December 31, 2010, all meters installed in existing micro projects and future micro projects must provide hourly data?

(7) Are the concepts contemplated in Section 6.1(c) of the microFIT Program Rules provided for in the FIT Program Rules? If not, why?

2. We are not aware of any costs increases as a result of the OEB proposed amendments.

3/4. We will look into these issues.

5. The OPA will review the application, and will make sure that it doesn't already have an OPA contract. We need to make sure that the facility only has one contract.

6. No, it means that the microFIT project should have a meter that is able to provide hourly data for settlement purposes.

7. We would reject an application if it didn't meet the program eligibility requirements.

Thank you for your questions. We welcome submission about the microFIT program through our online Make a Submission tool.
