Weights & Measures Canada has determined that (I am going by my understanding of an article I read) a parallel connection is the only accurate way to monitor your power production for the purpose of billing/charging the OPA for what you produce. As they are the body that governs this, the OPA has changed their connection requirements, for the time being.
This means that you must connect with a parallel connection to your LDC (local distribution company) who in most cases are Hydro One. The price I have heard is around $1,400 for the connection, so in most cases, you will need to budget this into your setup costs. Kingston Hydro has a lower fee, and other smaller LDCs may as well, but planning for $1,400+ to connect and about $7 per month for your account fee should cover things.
