MicroFIT transfer

Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) ran the MicroFIT Program in Ontario between 2009 and 2017, allowing homeowners and other eligible participants to generate renewable electricity and contribute to Ontario's electricity grid. Although the program is now closed to new applications, owners can transfer their MicroFIT contracts. To transfer contract ownership, follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition. 

Step 1: Set up a new EPCOR account

To begin the transfer process, the new owner must set up a generation account with EPCOR. Complete the Application Form to establish the account.

If you are HST registered, please include your HST registration status and an HST number at the bottom of your application or email submission.

Step 2: Provide banking details

For payment deposits, the new owner must provide their banking details. Fill out the MicroFIT & FIT Preauthorized Payment Application Form to ensure payments for electricity generation are correctly deposited.

Step 3: Complete contract assignment

The final step involves completing the official contract assignment through the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO). This ensures the contract is legally transferred and activated under the new owner's name.

These forms are essential to ensure the new owner is properly set up to receive payments for electricity generation and that the contract is legally transferred and activated under the correct name.
