Impact of Regulatory Changes
No Up Front Cost
Class A ICI market participants can utilize Corporate PPAs with renewable generators to effectively offset facility demand during the top 5 peak hours. This arrangement treats generation as behind-the-meter, slashing peak demand factors and GA charges.
Corporate Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (C-PPAs)
The amendments refine how GA costs are allocated, allowing businesses registered as Class A market participants in the ICI to manage their expenses more effectively, simplify operations and in many cases to dramatically reduce costs.
Reduce Global
Adjustment Costs
The new rules will facilitate the growth of clean energy generation, including wind, solar, small hydroelectric, biomass/biofuel, and geothermal. Environmental attributes such as renewable energy credits (RECs) or Ontario Clean Energy Credits (CECs) are earned for every MWh generated.
Support Clean Local Generation
The corporate power purchase agreement works as a fixed price energy supply agreement with no capital investment or and no need to build or buy anything.
