Small microgeneration
For microgeneration projects under 150 kW designed to offset all or part of your home, farm or business electricity consumption. Common examples include residential solar and smaller farm or commercial rooftop systems.
- Purpose: Your system should be sized to offset a portion of your annual on-site electricity use
- Location: Your system must be installed on the property where electricity is used, or on an adjacent property that you own or lease
- Connection capacity: FortisAlberta will confirm available capacity after you apply. Capacity is not guaranteed and may change.
Eligibility: FortisAlberta’s microgeneration processes comply with the Electric Utilities Act and the Micro-generation Regulation. Microgeneration allows consumers to offset a portion of their electricity use by generating electricity from renewable or alternative energy sources.
Important: FortisAlberta recommends that you do not purchase or install generation equipment until FortisAlberta has completed review and approval of your application.
PCS update: Certified power control systems may support export-limited or non-export configurations. A PCS Commissioning Record and fail-safe verification are required.
Aggregated sites: If the same customer submits multiple Small microgeneration applications, FortisAlberta may assess them together as one project. If the combined capacity is 150 kW or greater, the project may be subject to the Large microgeneration process.
