Grid Access Rights
• No guaranteed access rights
• Distribution Code has limited capacity
• Until 12 February 2009, Distribution Code was ‘First-come First-served’ for all generation in 10kW-10MW range

Hydro One Queue
Substation Capacity = 20MW
Queue Position Project
1 111 (10 MW)
2 222 (10 MW)
CIA Pending 333 (10 MW)
CIA Pending 444 (500 kW)
• Capacity limits due to feeder, switchgear and transformers• Speculative projects ahead in the queue could delay your
application by 2-3 years per project

Hydro One Queue Analysis
Project Size Applications
<500kW 39
501kW - 8.99MW 184
9 - 10MW 971
Full Substations 117 of 151
• From Hydro One queue 31-Oct-08• Over 80% in 9-10 MW range• Blockages started in windy areas – Great Lakes• Blanket applications in Eastern Ontario Aug/Sept 07• Small biogas being shut out from many agricultural areas

Wind & Farm Biogas
Wind & PV Farm Biogas
Typically 9-10MW Generally <500kW
Multiple applications financed by large corporations
Individual applications financed by farmers
Flexible on location Tied to farms
30-35% capacity factor 70-100% capacity factor
Competition between generators Co-operation between farmers
Grid access is first step - companies forced to speculate
No speculation, but forced to rapidly submit Form Bs
Removes opportunity for small biogas
No significant impact on wind farm development

Grid Connection Costs
• All costs up-front – unlike load customer• Distribution Network designed for load
customers• Deep Entry – Watch out for $$$:
– Protection upgrades– Anti-islanding protection– Recloser replacement– Voltage regulators

The Single-phase Hydraulic Recloser
• Extensively deployed across Ontario
• Restores load customers in 1-2 seconds
• Simple, reliable• Can be a big problem
for generation

Grid Connection Process
1. Initial Feasibility Assessment2. Connection Impact Assessment
– Gives queue position– 12 months to CCRA
3. Connection Cost Estimate4. Connection Cost Recovery Agreement5. Connection Agreement

Grid Connection Process
• Distribution Code timescales not met – Hydro One swamped
• Generator responsibility for connection design, equipment procurement and protection design
• No simplified process for small generation
