(formerly Brantford Power Inc.), received notice from Hydro One of a generation restriction on the Brantford Transformer Station Z bus, effective May 1, 2014.  Hydro One’s monthly review of the Brantford Transformer Station identified a short circuit limitation resulting in the restriction of future connection of all generation.

Net Metering

If you generate electricity from renewable sources, you may take advantage of Ontario’s “net metering” initiative. Net metering allows you to send excess electricity generated from renewable resources to the distribution system for a credit toward your energy costs. 

For more information about the net metering program, please see the Ontario Regulation 541/05 – Net Metering and Ontario Regulation 274/18 – Siting Restrictions or email [email protected].
