Korean Firms Investing $7B In 2,500 MW Of Renewable Energy
in News Departments > New & Noteworthy
by SI Staff on Thursday 21 January 2010
A consortium led by Samsung C&T Corp. and Korea Electric Power Corp. will invest $7 billion to generate 2,500 MW of solar and wind power in Ontario, Canada. These projects will triple Ontario's output from renewable sources, according to the office of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.
The investment will also lead to more than 16,000 new green-energy jobs to build, install and operate the renewable generation projects. The Korean consortium plans to work with major partners to attract four manufacturing plants. Doing so will lead to the creation of 1,440 additional manufacturing and related jobs building solar and wind energy technology for use in Ontario and export across North America.
This investment is the single largest investment in renewable energy in provincial history, McGuinty's office notes, adding that the consortium selected Ontario for its investment because the province's Green Energy Act guarantees stable rates for renewable energy.

Project Focus: Ontario Power Authority awards 154.5MW of distributed PV projects to Recurrent Energy
08 April 2010 | By Tom Cheyney | News > Power Generation, Market Watch
Recurrent Energy has been awarded 144.5 MW (AC) of distributed solar power projects by the Ontario Power Authority under the province's new feed-in tariff program. (UPDATE: Note that original press release stated 145.5MW, but company has since said it actually received additional projects, pushing the total to 154.5MW.) The deal makes Recurrent the largest developer of such projects in Ontario under OPA’s FiT.
Recurrent will finance, build, own, and operate the photovoltaic systems, using equipment and services that meet the 60% domestic content requirements stipulated as part of the FiT program.
The company expects to invest well over US$400 million in solar modules; electrical equipment; steel and metal fabrication; and related services, such as installation and project management.
OPA will buy 100% of the power and renewable energy credits from Recurrent's solar projects located in the counties of Simcoe, Lanark, Middlesex, and Oxford, as well as the united counties of Leeds and Grenville.
The projects are expected to be completed in 2011 and early 2012, the company said.
The agreement will lead to the creation of more than 2500 jobs in the province including local manufacturing, engineering, construction, electrical, project development, and related services, the San Francisco-based company said.
“As a global company with strong financial backing and over 1000MW of distributed-scale projects in development, we offer economies of scale and expertise that are attractive to our utility customers,” said Arno Harris, CEO of Recurrent. “Ontario’s renewable energy policy leadership, including the goal of eliminating coal-fired power generation by 2014, makes the province an attractive area for renewable energy economic development and investment, which we are excited to be a big part of.”
“We have been actively developing solar power projects across Ontario for several years and will continue to work with our partners and communities to ensure that the projects bring economic development to the region,” said David Brochu, Recurrent's VP of development for the eastern region of North America. “Our distributed-scale projects allow us to deliver a large amount of aggregate solar power with minimal impact on the land, while generating significant economic and environmental benefits for us all.”

Ontario approves 77 solar PV applications under FIT (corrected version)
12 April 2010 | By Emma Hughes | News > Power Generation, Tariff Watch
*Canadian solar installation
Renewable energy companies in Ontario have received approval for 184 new 'green' contracts under the country's feed-in tariff scheme, of which 77 are solar PV. This marks the largest renewable energy initiative in Canada to date, adding to the 510 medium-sized projects declared in March. The combined contracts are estimated to generate more than 2500MW.
"These projects are the latest accomplishments of the Green Energy Act which is making Ontario a place of destination for green energy development, manufacturing, and expertise," said Ontario's minister of energy and infrastructure, Brad Duguid. "The investments generated by FiT will not only create green jobs, but will also build a coal-free legacy for future generations."
Ontario's Green Energy Act is part of the government's Open Ontario Plan. It provides a stable price for clean energy producers to invest in the country, and creates a potential 50,000 Ontario jobs.
"In six short months the feed-in tariff program has delivered strong results and has more than exceeded our expectations," said Ontario Power Authority CEO Colin Andersen.
A key objective of the country's Green Energy Act is to enable community and aboriginal participation in renewable energy development. Thirty-six community and aboriginal projects will be the first to receive an FiT contract.
"I'm pleased to see aboriginal and local communities across Ontario as active participants in the green energy movement. Their leadership enhances Ontario's efforts to establish itself as a North American leader in renewable energy," said Duguid.
Of the 184 approved projects, seventy-six are ground-mounted solar PV, 47 are onshore wind and 46 are waterpower. Seven biogas, two biomass, four landfill gas, one rooftop solar and one offshore wind project has also been given the go-ahead.
Projects that did not receive a first round FiT contract offer will now be put through an Economic Connection Test (ECT) to identify transmission or distribution system expansion projects that support renewable generation and meet economic requirements. The first test will start in August/September 2010. Renewable energy projects enabled by these expansions projects will be eligible for a FiT contract once work begins.

Thin Film ranking tops as choice technology in Canadian Sun Belt
4 May 2010
We continue our two part series on thin film opportunities arising out of Ontario Canada´s Solar Sunbelt; the project constraints; and how academia could bring about industry change.
By Elizabeth Block
Local content – not a deterrent
When Ontario’s Energy & Infrastructure Minister Brad Duguid introduced the Green Energy Act last year, he predicted the creation of 50,000 jobs for Ontarians within three years.
This forecast was based on fairly tough local content requirements as developers must meet a certain percentage of made-in-Ontario goods and labour at the time the project reaches commercial operation.
The requirements for solar are higher than for wind and separate rules apply to thin film and crystalline silicon projects under 10 KW, because of the components: silicon can be refined and cells formed in Ontario.
More generally, for larger solar projects above 10KW, the requirement starts at 50% but will rise to 60% at the start of 2011.
Micro solar is currently at 40%, but will also rise to 60% next year.
So a firm importing thin film modules from Germany’s Q-Cells, as the Pod Generating Group plans to do in Sault Ste Marie, will have to ensure that panels are completed locally.
Despite the local content rules, renewable energy companies are flocking in, many from abroad. Most dramatically, in January 2010 South Korea’s Samsung C&T, as part of a consortium, invested $7bn in wind and solar.
Within the province, Horizon Energy Solutions has trademarked the name “Ontario’s Solar Sunbelt”, aiming to attract green businesses and jobs to the Golden Horseshoe, roughly the Toronto-Hamilton metropolitan area, home to half of the population of Ontario.
Horizon plans to lease rooftops to generate solar energy.
And the city of Sault Ste Marie, with a population of only 75,000, but with vigorous leadership from its mayor and its own Economic Development Corporation, has declared itself The Alternative Energy Capital of North America. To date more than C$535m in renewable energy projects have been completed with an additional C$436m expected this year.
Thin film positioning
While it is too soon to predict whether thin film will dominate Ontario’s solar landscape, several companies are making an impact.
The plans of the Canadian energy company Enbridge Inc. show that ambitious solar plans were underway well before the new FIT programme.
Last year Enbridge acquired the Sarnia 20-MW solar energy farm from First Solar which moved into Ontario in early 2009, encouraged by the earlier FIT regime. According to John Maniawski, Enbridge’s Director, Wind & Solar Energy, Enbridge plans to expand Sarnia, which uses First Solar’s cadmium telluride thin film technology, to 80 MW, making it the largest PV solar energy facility in North America.
“We are investing more than C$100m in solar energy in Ontario,” he said. Under the agreement, First Solar will be paid for the project’s completion, and will provide operations and maintenance services under a 10-year fixed price contract.
Recurrent Energy was the largest solar power project developer in Ontario under the FIT programme.
Last year the company bought UPC Solar’s “project pipeline” of 350 MW.
UPC is based in Chicago and has focused on thin film solar.
And EDF entered the fray in January 2010, with plans for the 23.4 MW thin film Arnprior Solar Project near Ottawa.
EDF EN Canada has invested C$100m in the project, with panels to come from First Solar.
Other initiatives
While thin film seems to be the technology of choice in this region so far, other technologies are raising their profile.
For example, Toronto start-up Morgan Solar claims to be have “reinvented CPV” with its ‘Light-guide Solar Optic’, a planar concentrating optic that is said to cut the cost, materials, and complexity associated with existing lens- and mirror-based CPV.
The company recently raised $8.2m a mix of venture capital firms and strategic investors.
Its first round strategic investors include Iberdrola of Spain. And Heliene Canada, based in Sault Ste Marie, will import a turn-key operation from Heliene Europe in Spain, to make polycrystalline modules.
But significantly for thin film, John Preston, Professor of Engineering Physics at McMaster University and an expert in thin film PV, said: “McMaster University has made several strategic investments that will enable us to play a major role in the development and commercialization of new solar technologies.
“With the partnership of the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the Province of Ontario, McMaster will be investing over $10m in new equipment and infrastructure to fabricate and test next generation solar cells.”
The university, a leader in solar energy research, was recently selected as the host for the Canadian Photovoltaic Innovation Network, a consortium of leading academic institutions and the private sector to fund “pre-competitive research” into 3rd generation solar cell technologies.
He added: “We also have many research projects being undertaken by faculty working in this area, all in collaboration with industry and spanning most approaches to solar-generated electricity.
“There is, however a substantial concentration in thin film and nano-enabled material approaches.”
