Review-Mirror

16 – June 2, 2011 The Review-Mirror Contract offer just the start of detailed process •Continued from page 1 “Sustainable Energy has specifically requested theMinister of Energy and the Premier to direct Hydro One to bring its practices into line with those of other utilities around the world and has requested the Minister to negotiate an increase in the threshold to 15 per cent of peak load,” he said in a press release. “There has been a tremendous response to the MicroFIT program. As a result of this success, applications are outpacing the upgrades that are required to connect pro- jects in some areas,” Block said. “The Ontario Power Authourity (OPA) and Hydro One are currently developing strategies to find additional capacity and bring more projects online. “Hydro One is working with the OPA to determine the scope of the upgrades. We will have more to say soon about this,” Block said in an email, adding that Hydro One’s license was recently amended for immediate upgrades at up to 15 constrained trans- mission stations across Ontario to enable addition- al small-scale renewable generation. Gobeil hopes this isn’t an issue, hoping that hav- ing the Newboro substa- tion nearby and the fact he was offered a contract is a Talent show to benefit Lyndhurst Rejuvenation committee good sign. There are three larger projects already approved in the area near that substation but this lat- est wave of 700 approvals contained no new develop- ments in Rideau Lakes. After Hydro approval, Gobeil still needs to work on an archaeological study, an environmental assessment and financing among others. There will also be a public meeting at some point. The property, recently purchased by Gobeil, is adjacent to Terry Martin Excavating across from McNally Farm. High Volt- age power lines run across the property, which also includes a run-down house burnt in a pot grow-op gone bad several years ago. “It’s sort of in a spot that’s not offensive to peo- ple I hope. “The panels would face away from the road and if it’s an issue we’ll plant trees along the road,” he said. Long before he plants any trees, Gobeil has a lot of work to do, something that doesn’t seem to deter the former owner of Renewable Energy of Plum Hollow. The tradition continues...
