Why attend? The Nova Scotia Feed-In Tariff Forum 2012 Nova Scotia

Why attend the Nova Scotia Feed-In Tariff Forum 2012?

The Forum is a unique opportunity to network with global industry leaders, community project owners and policy administrators and to learn about the real potential for renewables in Atlantic Canada. It is the only event to focus exclusively on the opportunities for the renewables industry under the Nova Scotia’s Renewable Electricity Plan which includes the Community Feed-in Tariff (COMFIT) for community-led projects and an RFP for large-scale wind.

Join us in Halifax to gain a solid understanding of the drivers behind renewables policy in this part of the country and to identify the business opportunities for renewables beyond 2015.
