For a small scale producer of solar power getting 80 cents a KW will cause a positive reaction. This reaction was countered by the Ontario Power Authority to change the incentives.
If there were no incentives in PV solar in Ontario there would be no projects, Ontario is not the best spot in the world for PV solar and our power rates are too cheap.
