You’ll find the best online slots here, you have time to get it! The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Program was enabled by the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, 2009. The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is responsible for implementing the FIT Program.
Under the FIT Program, qualifying renewable energy generation projects are offered a twenty-year guaranteed contract at fixed tariff rates. The program is divided into two streams: (1) microFIT or projects generating 10 kilowatts (kW) or less of electricity, and (2) FIT or projects generating more than 10 kW of electricity. In addition, smaller FIT projects (under 250 kW if connected to a line less than 15 kilovolts (kV) or under 500 kW if connected to a line greater than or equal to 15 kV) are considered as capacity allocation-exempt projects. For both microFIT and allocation-exempt FIT projects, the application and contracting process is streamlined. The FIT Rules and the microFIT Rules can be found on the OPA website.
The FIT 3.0 Prices (which is expected to take effect with the project application window in the Fall of 2013) are as follows for solar photovoltaic:

The OPA intends to review the FIT Program at regular two-year intervals. The first review is scheduled to take place in November of 2011. Any changes to the program will not affect executed FIT contracts.
