The process is governed by regulated financial settlements with the Local Distribution Company (LDC) in accordance with the Retail Settlement Code (RSC). A generator customer can enter into a contract directly with the Independent Electricity Supply Operator (IESO) for sale of renewable energy.
Elexicon Energy supports the incorporation of these generation facilities within the electrical distribution system in its service territory. The process is guided by the latest revision of the Distribution System Code (DSC) issued by the Ontario Energy Board. The Code sets out the minimum obligations that a licensed electricity distributor (such as a LDC) must meet in carrying out its obligations. The latest revision of the Code can be found on the official website of the OEB under Industry Relations/Rules, Codes, Guidelines and Codes.
Generators of electricity are divided into different sizes in accordance with the DSC.
| Generator Classification | Generator Size | Available Programs |
|---|---|---|
Micro | < = 10 kW | Micro-Generation |
Small | > = 10 kW and < = 1 MW | Generation Over 10kW |
Mid-Sized | > = 500 kW and < = 10 MW | Generation Over 10kW |
Large | > 10 MW | Generation Over 10kW |
Elexicon will apply its Conditions of Service for any generation interconnection costs and/or any metering changes that Elexicon deems necessary to allow for settlement purposes under a specific program.
