Domestic Content

The Feed in Tariff (FIT) program is North America’s first comprehensive, guaranteed pricing structure for renewable electricity production, and offers stable prices under long-term contracts for energy generated from renewable sources, including solar photovoltaic.
The FIT Program was enabled by the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, 2009 which was passed into law on May 14, 2009. The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is responsible for implementing the program.

Local Content Assurance Bureau
The LCAB, or Local Content Assurance Bureau, is a third party auditing bureau that provides supply chain, manufacturing and process assessments to verify that business activities are local. The LCAB ensures that products meet domestic content requirements for the FIT Program under the Contributor to Ontario Renewable Energy (CORE) Program.

CORE Program
The Local Content Assurance Bureau (LCAB) works with manufacturers, suppliers, professional services firms, and individuals to meet the domestic content requirements in the Ontario Power Authority's (OPA) Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Program.
Through the Contributor to Ontario Renewable Energy (CORE) Program, LCAB verifies and certifies a company’s domestic content. By completing a CORE assessment, companies are well positioned to complete the FIT program domestic content approval process.
The CORE program is the only program that is backed by a rigorous on-site verification and review process. CORE provides verification services for all 42 categories across all 4 of the FIT Domestic Content Grids

Members of the CORE program have satisfied the strict standards established by LCAB. The CORE program standards are designed to meet or exceed the domestic content requirements established by the OPA under the FIT program.
