Town Hall roof gets 260 solar panels By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Oakville Hydro Energy Services Inc., a division of Oakville Hydro Corporation, is working with the Town of Oakville to install 260 solar panels on the roof of Town Hall. It's part of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) Program developed by the Ontario Power Authority for Ontario's Green Energy Act. "We're thrilled to be working with the Town of Oakville on yet another great initiative," said Scott Mudie, vice-president and general manager at Oakville Hydro Energy Services Inc. "We will continue to work with the Town of Oakville on a number of additional solar projects under the FIT program." The solar installation's capacity is 60 kilowatts (kW), which can power up to 15 homes in Oakville. The electricity generated by the solar installation will be displayed on an LCD screen at Town Hall. "Town council's vision for a more livable and sustainable community includes looking at ways to reduce energy use," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "Partnering with Oakville Hydro in this solar panel initiative is a perfect fit in achieving that." The Town of Oakville and Oakville Hydro Energy Services Inc., said they will continue to identify opportunities for solar installations at other town facilities through the Town's Corporate Energy Management Plan and Environmental Strategic Plan. Ontario's FIT Program is North America's first comprehensive guaranteed pricing structure for renewable electricity production.
