Contact: Allan Parsons, Manager, Planning, Design and Development Department (905) 874-2063

Overview:

Adelaide Solar Energy Inc. on behalf of the Peel District School Board (PDSB) is planning to install rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) projects on all 103 public school buildings located throughout Brampton under the Ontario Green Energy Act (GEA) and the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program administered by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA).

The proposed rooftop solar PV installations on the 103 PDSB school sites represent a total capital investment of approximately $100 million.

A Council resolution in support of these 103 projects is requested by Adelaide Solar Energy Inc. The Council resolution is formally listed by the Province as a criterion to be satisfied by the FIT program in order to be eligible for expedited Provincial approvals.

Renewable green energy projects are exempt from Ontario's Planning Act legislation. The City of Brampton's Official Plan and Zoning By-laws do not apply to renewable energy undertakings, although Building Permits are required when proposed facilities are to be attached to existing buildings.

This report recommends that Council provide support for the installation of 103 rooftop solar PV projects (See Appendix 1 for city map indicating proposed school locations and Appendix 2 for a copy of the letter of acknowledgement received from the PDSB) in the form of a Municipal Council Support Resolution to assist in gaining potential expedited approvals through the Provincial FIT program.

CURRENT SITUATION:

The Provincial FIT Program in conjunction with the Green Energy Act, 2009 facilitates the development of Renewable Energy Generating Facilities of varying sizes, technologies and configurations. Renewable energy projects such as the solar PV installations for all 103 PDSB public school sites in Brampton as described in this report are reviewed through the FIT program and can qualify for expedited reviews and approvals by the Province's Ontario Power Authority (OPA) if municipal council support is formally provided. Adelaide Solar Energy Inc. is requesting a Council resolution in support of 103 rooftop solar PV projects to facilitate expedited approvals through the FIT program administered by the OPA.

Renewable green energy projects are exempt from Ontario's Planning Act legislation. As such, the City of Brampton's Official Plan and Zoning By-laws do not apply to renewable energy undertakings, although Building Permits are required when proposed facilities are to be attached to existing buildings.

By supporting and encouraging the development of renewable energy within the City of Brampton and the Province, the FIT Program will:

• Assist in phasing out coal-fired electricity generation in the province by 2014 - the largest climate change initiative in Canada; • Help boost economic activity and the development of renewable energy technologies throughout the city; and • Create new green industries and jobs within our city.

CONCLUSION:

Staff has reviewed the proposal received by Adelaide Solar Energy Inc. and recommends that support be provided by Council in the form of a Municipal Council Support Resolution to assist in the review of their 103 rooftop solar PV projects to facilitate expedited approvals through the FIT program administered by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA).
