2010 – The First Quarter

by Daniel Bida on May 16, 2010

The first quarter brought more exciting growth and progress to the community power sector overall, as well as to ReGenerate.

The most significant news was the Ontario Power Authority awarding the first FIT and microFIT contracts for a total of 2,612 megawatts (MW) of generating capacity, including 21.8 MW of on- and off-farm biogas. In addition, the second annual Canadian Farm and Food Biogas conference took place in London, Ontario, Transition Canada was created, and three more Ontario Transition Towns were awarded official status by the Transition Network – bringing the world total to 291.

Some other highlights included:

  • Multiple trips to Peterborough County to meet with key stakeholders and partners interested in the development of community owned biogas.
  • My entrance into, and subsequent advancement to the final round of the UpStart Competition at MaRS.
  • The launch of the Community Power Services Group by the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association.
