Hydro One has released an online web tool that allows prospective generators to find out local connection availabilities. The tool shows station and feeder capacity and is intended to help developers prepare generation proposals with better knowledge of connection conditions.
The calculator can be found on the HONI website under generators / distribution / Station and feeder capacity calculator. Visitors are encouraged to first read the “Important Information for microFIT Applicants, Consultants & Contractors”, which explains the tool and its limitations, and how the tool fits into the overall connection application process. Users are also advised to enable macros when using the spreadsheets from this website.
