2013-01: Feed-In Tariff Policy
In January 2013, Solar Nova Scotia released its recommendations to the provincial government for an electricity feed-in tariff.
"The Feed-In-Tariff or FIT, proposes a contract between Nova Scotia Power and a power producer," says Richard Vinson, chairman of Solar Nova Scotia, "For solar and any other renewable energy production to be practical, the producers have to get a fair price for the power they generate."
Ontario has had a feed-in tariff for renewable energy since 2006, and Germany has had an extremely successful program since 1990.
