Amendment to Renewable Energy Approval for the Cornwall Solar Project

On January 19, 2021, we amended Renewable Energy Approval No. 3195-92JKTY to:

• replace the existing ten intermediate transformers with ten new intermediate transformers in the same locations

Since the Cornwall Solar Project started operating in 2014, Cornwall Solar Inc. now needs to replace the facility’s ten intermediate transformers.

The installation of the new intermediate transformers will be completed in the same manner as the original installation. Since this installation method has been previously reviewed as part of the renewable energy approval application and the work will be completed within the previously assessed areas, no new environmental impacts are expected.

Re-confirmation letters from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries are not required because the change did not result in relocating any project components beyond the project location that was already assessed.

This Class 3 solar facility, known as the Cornwall Solar Project, is located at Pt Lot 5, 6 and 7, Concession 5, County Road 19, in the Township of South Glengarry, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.
