Successful implementation of the Green Energy Act and the FIT Program requires a number of changes across the energy sector to bring renewable energy into service quickly and efficiently.

The Ontario Energy Board, the Independent Electricity System Operator, transmitters, local electricity distribution companies and the government are all working together with the OPA to bring about these changes.

Ontario Ministry of Energy

The Ontario Ministry of Energy is responsible for establishing government energy policy in the province.

Ontario Power Authority

The Ontario Power Authority is responsible for designing and implementing the FIT and microFIT programs.

Ontario Energy Board

The Ontario Energy Board regulates the natural gas and electricity sectors in Ontario and protects the interests of consumers with respect to prices and service.

Independent Electricity System Operator

The Independent Electricity System Operator and transmitters work together to ensure energy is connected and transmitted reliably and safely across the province.

Local distribution companies

Local distribution companies are responsible for connecting both FIT and microFIT projects to the distribution system.

Electrical Safety Authority

The Electrical Safety Authority will inspect FIT and microFIT project installations and verify their nameplate capacity.
