Costs and Revenues
Costs
Defining the costs of a project can be difficult. Cost estimates will be less accurate during the pre-feasibility stage of a project and can be very site-specific. Costs will become more accurate as more research is done and as plans are finalized.
Costs can be grouped into the following major categories:
- Pre-feasibility costs
- Planning, design and development costs
- Permitting and approval costs
- Capital costs of construction and commissioning
- Ongoing operation costs
Revenues
The revenues for a specific project will be determined by the contract and will depend on the size of the project and the type of fuel. Find out about the feed-in tariff prices for renewable energy in Ontario in the FIT Program website.
Qualifying Aboriginal and community projects are eligible to receive an additional payment (called a "price adder") in addition to the contract price. Learn more about the price adder on the FIT Program website.
