An analysis of the potential for Nova Scotia?s COMFIT program?s to improvethe province?s energy security

To meet the targets set out in Nova Scotia’s Renewable Electricity Plan (REP) on April 2010, the

province is establishing a Community Feed-In-Tariffs (COMFIT) program, which sets out to

encourage communities to develop renewable energy projects. The REP stipulates that 100

megawatts of renewable electricity projects are to be supplied through COMFIT.

The proposed research project will document the challenges and opportunities that Wind

Prospect Inc. and other respective stakeholders face in developing renewable energy projects for

the Nova Scotia COMFIT program. The final research paper produced will inform Wind Prospect

and other interested individuals for identifying and addressing policy barriers posed by COMFIT

and relevant legislation. It is my hope that the research can be useful tool for Wind Prospect Inc

in developing successful COMFIT projects and applications.
