| What is a Feed-In-Tariff? A Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) provides renewable electricity producers a fixed rate for the power they produce. In Ontario, the Ontario Power Authority administers the FIT and signs contracts that last 20 years. How much experience does Seedorf Power have? Through our European sister companies, we have been developing solar and wind projects for over 15 years. We have 30 MW wind and 16 MW solar installed. These are largely projects less than 3 MW due to our focus on medium-scale opportunities What kind of partners is Seedorf Power seeking? We are interested in partnering with owners of roofs greater than 700 m2 in size. South-facing roofs are best for Ontario. How does Seedorf Power compensate roof and land owners? Roof and land owners are not required to provide any investment or installation funding. Seedorf Power is responsible for all costs associated with installation and ongoing operation of wind and solar projects. Roof and land owners receive a percentage of electrical revenues and are required to sign a 20 year roof or land lease agreement, and an easement for the project must be established. Will Seedorf Power employ Ontarians? Absolutely. The vast majority of personnel involved in installation and all ongoing operational personnel are from Ontario. Only installation managers are brought from Germany, as their experience developing many previous projects is a signficant asset. |
  South-facing roofs over 700 m2 make for the best solar power projects. Ground-mounted projects can also be highly successful, although these can only be developed on land classes 3-7 in Ontario. More information here. |
  The best sites in Ontario are located at the eastern edge of lakes and open areas. Industrial wind turbines are usually 1-2 MW in capacity, and can be connected to the grid as either stand-alone turbines or in wind farms. More information here. |
  As part of Ontario's 2009 Green Energy Act, the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is managing a feed-in-tariff (FIT) program. This FIT provides independent power producers an incentive to produce renewable electricity for Ontario's power grid. |   A requirement of the FIT program is that all projects receive a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) to ensure they are environmentally sustainable. Project developers must also consult extensively with the local community. |   We are interested in partnership opportunities with roof and land owners Seedorf Power Corp. info@seedorf.ca Ph: 613-532-7079 Fax: 613-249-7487 |
