Before you submit your bid for the Ontario government's RFP, you
must complete Pre-Bid work with Hydro One. The steps involved in
the Pre-Bid process with Hydro One vary slightly, depending on whether
you plan for your project to connect with Hydro One's transmission
or distribution system. This section will help you determine what
you need to do to submit your bid. You'll find information on:
The expedited process shown applies to both the 200 MW
and the 1000 MW RFPs.

Deciding whether your project is connected through our transmission
or our distribution
system depends on a number of factors such as the type and availability
of nearby facilities. Generally, the higher the voltage of the system,
the more generation capacity can be connected to it.
Transmission facilities operate at voltages above 50 kilovolts
(kV).
Transmission lines are not as plentiful as the distribution
lines. See
map of Ontario's transmission lines.
For a transmission-connected
facility, generators must have Hydro One conduct a Transmission
Customer Impact Assessment as well as a System
Impact Assessment conducted by the Independent Electricity
System Operator (IESO).

Distribution facilities operate at voltages of 50 kV or less.
For a distribution-connected
facility, a Distribution Connection Impact Assessment is required
to assess the impacts on the electricity system. If the proposed
generating capacity is 10 MVA or greater, a Transmission Customer
Impact Assessment must be completed by Hydro One and a System
Impact Assessment must be completed by the IESO as well.
