Renewable Sustainable Energy and the Green Energy Act On May 14, 2009 the Ontario's Legislature passed the Green Energy Act, an act whose purpose is to attract new investment, create 50,000 new green economy jobs, and better protect the environment by reducing our environmental footprint. This September one of the key elements of the legislation, called the Feed-in- tariff system, came into force. The FIT provides guaranteed prices for renewable energy projects, with a related focus on helping companies, farmers, Co-ops and other groups navigate the approvals process, creating Ontario jobs, and developing a smart grid which, among its benefits, will support this new energy supply. In this presentation, David Nixon from the Toronto Region Conservation Authority, will provide an overview of how the Green Energy Act can be utilized to build a small scale (up to 10KW) grid-tied solar powered generating station that can yield 80 cents per KW hour ... right in your back yard! This presentation will also include an overview of the Archetype Sustainable Energy House located at the Kortright Centre in Vaughn, as well as many other "renewable green technologies" currently installed throughout the grounds. Some of these features include:
