On May 26, 2011, the OPA began offering contracts to 839 CAE FIT projects, representing more than 140 MW of capacity.  Contracts will be offered over the next 10 weeks.

These contract offers are the third phase of mid-sized (capacity allocation exempt) renewable energy projects and are for applications submitted between June 5 and December 7, 2010.  It is estimated that this will create and support more than 2,000 direct and indirect jobs, and attract more than $900 million in private sector investment.

Contracts are being offered to homeowners, farmers, schools, municipalities, major retailers, a car dealership, community housing projects, fairgrounds, a hospital, a greenhouse, a transit commission and even a monastery.

A detailed list of these third-round, renewable energy projects is available here.
