Distribution System Code (DSC) Amendments - Generation Connection Process

The Ontario Energy Board proposed amendments to the Distribution System Code to enhance the generation connection process particularly with respect to the process for allocating capacity for connection. These amendments were required to deal with the current backlog of generation projects awaiting connection to a distribution system. They were also intended to accommodate a significant number of renewable generation projects that were anticipated to be coming forward as a result of the Ontario Power Authority’s feed-in-tariff (“FIT”).
