The Ontario Power Authority is not currently evaluating or
qualifying specific large renewable projects. This occurs at the Request for
Proposals (RFP) stage, wherein only qualified applicants may submit
project-specific proposals containing full details about the projects including
location, size, and connection point. An important part of a project proposal
will be meaningful community engagement.
