Agenda • CIA/DTCA Application Components • Threshold CIA (TCIA) Process Review • Revised Letter of Equivalency (LoE) • Project Sizes and Document Requirements & Timelines - Matrices • Distributed Generation update • TIR Update (HONI - Technical Interconnection Requirements) • Questions
Slide 4: CIA Application Components
CIA Application Components • TAT /DAT – Capacity Screening Link to webinar for TAT/DAT process • Application/Study Agreement • Form B • Single Line Diagram • Map of Location (Distribution Operating Maps may be requested through the Business Customer Centre – BCC) • Payment
Slide 5: Threshold CIAs
Threshold CIAs • LDC Owned feeder OR Express/Dedicated feeders • Initial Capacity up to 5 MW* • Solar based Small FIT (CAE projects) • May be revised due to changes/constraints to the system or at the request of the LDCs * 50% of remaining bus capacity up to 5 MW at Hydro One discretion
Slide 6: Threshold CIAs Advantages
Threshold CIAs Advantages • No Charge • LDCs can move projects between TCIAs if system changes are required with appropriate notification to Hydro One. • May be extended to accommodate connecting projects
Slide 7: Threshold CIAs Major Process Highlights
Threshold CIAs Major Process Highlights • Reminders – 5 months – expiry reminder – 6 months – expiry notice & call to FIT Contact – 7 months – expired project notice & call to FIT Contact • For Extensions (six month extensions) – Provide LoEs for connected projects – List valid projects identified f
Slide 8: Letters of Equivalency (LoEs)
Letters of Equivalency (LoEs) – Updated to include additional information necessary to add the generation unit to OGCC data systems. – Draft • Four (4) weeks in advance of ISD – Signed LoE • 10 days after In Service Date • Signed by a P. Eng or Officer of the LDC – Single Line Diagram required when
Slide 9: Letter of Equivalency (LoE)
Letter of Equivalency (LoE) • Enables no single line for projects ≤ 500 kW on an LDC owned feeder • Express feeder – if all Protections are owned by LDC an SLD is not required.

Slide 18: DG Processes – FIT 2.0 DATs
DG Processes – FIT 2. 0 DATs • The OPA will release two (2) waves of DATs: Feeder Level DATs and individual (project) DATs. Currently, GCD has done some preliminary screening and expects 132 Feeder DATs on Hydro One feeders. Expecting 79 cases of shared feeders. • The OPA has a very aggressive timel
Slide 19: TIR - Revision 3 Technical Interconnection Requirements
