About CanSIA
Who we are:
National trade association representing the solar energy industry throughout Canada
Since 1992, worked to develop markets and create opportunities for our Members
Why we are:
Trade associations exist to represent the interests of their Members
CanSIA exists to maximize the benefit of the solar industry to Canada

Presentation Outline
Presentation Context
CanSIA has been engaging with the Government of Alberta for the past decade.
Premier Notley and her Government now deeply committed to accelerating the
deployment of renewable energy and transitioning from coal-fired generation.
During 2015, the cumulative installed capacity in Canada surpassed 2,000 MW:
An annual average of 250 MW was added nationally in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Solar fleet meets ~1.5% of Ontarios total annual demand (generates >2 TWh per year).
Reduces provincial summer peak load by ~8% (peak is 20% lower today than in 2006).

Pricing which reflects the true value that solar brings to the grid.
CanSIA and CanWEA have entered into a partnership to jointly develop and advocate for
a common suite of policy options that would overcome these obstacles:
Broadened Carbon Price application and incremental increases in price over time.

Definitions
A regulatory mandate to increase production of energy from renewable sources. In most RPS, an
explicit annual goal for renewable generation is defined as either a percentage of total electricity
generation (for example 15 percent of generation must come from renewable generation by 2020),
or as new generating capacity (for example 1,000 MW of new renewables must be added by 2020).
The goals typically increase annually and are informed by projections of load growth and the
retirement of existing generation.
An on-going call for power that offers long-term contracts (PPAs) to eligible applicants. A
common trait of SOPs is that they are exclusive to small-scale zero-emissions generators.
Application, technical and interconnection requirements are typically standardized to streamline and
reduce the burden on proponents to a level that is proportionate to the size of the project.
Distribution-Connected Solar:
Electricity generation assets using solar photovoltaics connected to the distribution system. In
Alberta, the majority of the distribution network has a line voltage of 15 and 35 kVA. As a result (and
due to additional technical considerations such as interconnection capacity at distribution
substations and thermal and short circuit capacity) solar assets which connect to the distribution
network are limited to typically 5 MW in capacity (some projects could be as large as 15 MW). This
scale of project has several unique characteristics related to system benefit, ownership and the
ability to deploy rapidly which differentiates it from larger utility-scale assets.

Approximately two thirds of solar globally was procured through a policy that results
in a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the generator:

Conclusion
Broadened Carbon Price application and incremental increases in price over time.
Demonstrated public support for new policies are essential to enable action. CanSIA
will be undertaking polling and media relations to demonstrate this support.
I hope that all of you will be taking a pro-active role in communicating to the Leach
Panel, your Elected Official and your Friends and Family that this is good for Alberta.
