Can we participate in the Standing Offer Program if we have a cluster of projects that exceeds 10 MW, but each individual project within the cluster is less than 10 MW?
One of the main purposes of the Standing Offer Program, as outlined in the 2007 BC Energy Plan, is to facilitate the development of clean electricity projects with a capacity of 10 MW or less. Therefore, if a larger project appears to be artificially broken up into smaller projects with the sole intent of meeting the maximum size eligibility criterion of 10 MW, such a situation would be in violation of the spirit and purpose of the Standing Offer Program and would not be acceptable to BC Hydro. Section 3.3 of the Program Rules states that “A Project that is part of a Common Generation Facility where that Common Generation Facility is, in whole or in part, the subject of an EPA entered into under the Program will not be eligible for the Program.
