Comment
• The Regional Municipality of Peel, which has several facilities participating in the Industrial Conservation Initiative (Class A GA) program, fully supports this proposed amendment, as it aligns with the Region’s climate change goals by using renewable electricity to offset peak loads. There may be a premium paid for renewable energy to be used in the Class A GA program, but the financial and environmental benefits are significant if this amendment is approved.
• It is proposed to include in the amendment that a consumer with multiple eligible Class A GA facilities can have the ability to assign during the determination of the Peak Demand Factors the number of MWs purchased from a single PPA and allocate it to its multiple Class A GA facilities.
• It is suggested to include a central Registry of proposed projects coupled with possible interested buyers which might help to get more projects “off the ground” as a lot of Class A GA consumers are not that large, so they may not have the financial wherewithal to pursue a PPA on their own (considering the minimum is 1MW per hour), but could possibly pursue a aggregated PPA through an aggregator in conjunction with other consumers.
