The Ontario Liberals were aiming to phase out coal while championing the speedier uptake of renewable energy, and a Feed-In-Tariff program was established. For individuals who can generate renewable energy on their property (10 kilowatts or less), the program is called microFIT. Logging into their hydro account, Lindsay can look at an online dashboard to figure out how to eke out more efficiency on the energy consumed in her home. SolarShare, for example, is an Ontario community power co-operative that develops grid-tied renewable energy projects. In essence, solar projects are developed and then refinanced using “solar bonds” that are sold to the public.
