Renewable Energy Research Project (Queens University)

Renfrew CFDC Renewable Energy Final Report revised May 27 2011.pdfRenfrew CFDC Renewable Energy Final Report revised May 27 2011.pdf

The Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation approached the Monieson Centre at Queen's University to conduct a preliminary feasibility study on energy generation from biomass under the Ontario Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) program.  The draft report was completed March 31, 2011.  Members of the research team were in Pembroke on May 25, 2011 to present the research findings and answer questions related to the subject matter. 

The report is to be a tool, used by Municipal, Industry and Community representatives to advocate for an ammendment to the current FIT rate as set by the Ontario Power Authority in their review of the program from May through October 2011.

The final report and accompanying presentation are now available online. 

Questions concerning this project can be directed to khunt@bellnet.ca or 613.735.3951 ext. 229.
