Wind power developers to discuss Ontario Feed-In Tariff

This timely event includes 50+ speakers and is sponsored by Navigant Consulting, Siemens and Enfinity. ‘Ontario’s FIT program has accelerated the adoption of solar photovoltaic in Ontario, however; the long-term success of the program will rely heavily on the supply chain,’ says Chris Young, General Manager, Enfinity Canada Ltd, who is speaking at the event. ‘Collaboration between stakeholders is important as we work toward achieving a supply chain that is responsive and sustainable while delivering solutions that are cost-competitive, reliable and bankable in the global market and meet domestic policy requirements.’

The forum presents an excellent opportunity for FIT project developers, wind turbines and solar manufacturers and suppliers, and scheme administrators to discuss the FIT scheme and outline the necessary steps to ensure the program’s success. ‘I am looking forward to the opportunity to visit with colleagues in the wind energy industry – clients, competitors, developers and others,’ comments Michael Barczak, VP of Sales for DMI Industries, who is also presenting at the forum. ‘I also look forward to learning about any breaking news and developments that typically surface at these types of events.’

Vancouver-based Day4 Energy, who is licensing its solar technology to select Ontario manufacturers looking to diversify, is also presenting at the forum. ‘I’m looking forward to hearing the issues that others in PV supply are facing and how they are dealing with them,’ comments John Stonier, Vice President of Strategic Planning and Treasurer at Day4 Energy. ‘This is a new market with many opportunities to explore. The forum provides an excellent opportunity to understand them.’
