Wind turbines in Ontario are subsidized by Feed in Tariff Programs (FIT)
The nameplate capacity of the turbine is multiplied by the efficiency factor and then multiplied by a KW/hr rate
A wind turbine of 3 MW nameplate capacity) has a said efficiency factor of 28% x 3 MW x 13.5 cents per KW.
The wholesale electrical rate is about 7.5 cents/KW so the consumer ends up paying almost 2 x what the electricity is worth to the wind developer.
Ontario has about 1900 Turbines currently. They can produce about 7% of the provinces requirements at full capacity- but that has only happened a few times - usually in off peak hours when they have to sell off the excess energy to NY State or Quebec. Ontario now has the highest electricity rates in Canada and I believe is third or fourth highest in North America.
Heavy Industry is now being subsidized by the taxpayer to keep them in the province and there are now plans to subsidize low income residents.
There are plans to eventually install up to 6000 turbines. I really don't know what will eventually happen. Some of the original government proponents of Green Energy Program have already fled the scene.
I'd like to think that sanity will eventually prevail.
