FIT Program Updated Timeline

The OPA has developed the following updated timeline for the FIT Program.

Notes:

• Results of TAT/DAT will be a list of projects that will proceed to contract and a list of projects that will proceed to the ECT.

• Applications will continue to be accepted after this time, but all non-capacity allocation exempt applications submitted after June 4 will be reviewed and assessed following the completion of the ECT.

• An update on the timing of the ECT and the preceding activities, including the window to change a project's connection point and the priority ranking of projects pending ECT, will be posted shortly.
  

FIT Capacity Allocation Exempt Projects

Applications for capacity allocation exempt projects submitted after June 4, 2010 are reviewed and offered contracts on an ongoing basis. The OPA expects that contract offers will begin in late October 2010 for these applications.

For applications submitted before October 8, 2010, applicants should consider the requirements and timelines associated application review, notice to proceed and declaring commercial operation before electing an early milestone date for commercial operation in order to qualify for the lower domestic content requirements. There will be no extension on the required milestone date for commercial operation beyond the current contractual requirement.
