I am a full supporter of the approach to proliferate the green energy supply, and using the Class A customer-base to do so. I have a variety of questions, reflections, and points for consideration as this regulation gets finalized:
1. why is the inclusion of batteries said to slow down the process, and not looking at being a primary option (integrated with solar for example) in this first iteration? I would like to see the option being available
2. 1MWh minimum; how is this handled in the case of solar, where the cloud coverage at a given moment (or angle of the sun if it happens to be a winter peak) cannot be 100% accurately accounted for. May this 1MWh be written into the amendment based on nameplate and/or the modelling of approved software systems (which the IESO shall specify as being accepted)
3. allow for the inclusion of multiple meters at a given site so that a single solar farm can deliver power to the IESO grid on behalf of multiple customers or sites; requirements around metering (revenue grade, etc) to be stipulated by IESO
4. Allow for a surplus of power to be generated on-site; example, if 4MWh is contracted to one or multiple customers, a surplus of power capacity may be installed for reasons such as on-site EV charging stations, spot-pricing (one-off) sale to existing or new off-takers should there indeed be excess power available in that Peak Period
5. May there be clarification provided as to how kWhs produced outside of the Peak Periods get applied? Will the generator be paid HOEP rates?
6. How does section 2d)i) apply to solar (ie. no dispatching capabilities) ?
Thank you for your consideration of these points and questions. I very much look forward to the progression of this modification.
Best regards,
Pat
