Once you have completed the connection of your project, your local distribution company will provide the OPA with information about your project, including the date of your connection request and the connection date of your project.

Once the OPA has received this information, you will receive a contract offer by email. You will be required to access your “My microFIT Home Page” to accept the contract. The contract includes: 

• your name
• the microFIT project reference number
• your project characteristics (e.g., renewable fuel, size, location)
• local distribution company information (i.e., account numbers)
• connection date
• effective date and end date of the contract
• contract price and contract payments
• GST information.

Once you accept your microFIT contract, you will begin to receive payments for the electricity generated by your project from your local distribution company. You will continue to receive payments for the term of the contract.

Start date of the contract

The start date of the contract is referred to as the effective date. Find out how this date is determined.
