📢Publication - Renewable energy support program🇨🇦

💡 Successful promotion of solar DER
💰 Inequitable societal outcomes due to cross-subsidization, totalling 9 CAD billion
📉 Potential reduction in economic burden by 50% if implementation had been delayed by five years

If you are interested in or working on evaluating #RenewableEnergy support programs, our recently published study on #Ontario's #net_metering program for rooftop #solar PVs is now available online!

@JohnLeePettim13 Can you please add the link to the OSPE study?

@ashishverma6271 @CitImmCanada @AskKubeir @SeanFraserMP Same situation here. Any update on yours?

[Majid Hashemi @MJD_Hashemi]

Residential rooftop solar with #net_metering in #Ontario is only feasible with the Fed gov. subsidies; Non-net-metered households experience losses of eight times the benefits to net-metered households.

“Leaders of the western world need to… make it even louder & clearer that they stand with the women, with the people of Iran & not with the twisted leadership of the Islamic republic.” @jaketapper’s powerful commentary on #MahsaAmini #zhina. #مهسا_امینی

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Violent protests broke out in Iran after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody. Here’s why she has become the face of demonstrations across the country. https://t.co/FJe8ZK708X

I hear that the IRI thugs were “restrained” while Raisie was in NY and exposed to the world media. Now that he is back in Tehran and the internet is cutoff they are going to get real violent. #HelpIranianPeople

“We don’t want to die”.

“We are not hashtags, we are human beings”

“Dear #MahsaAmini you didn’t die, your name becoming a symbol”

These young women remove their hijab in protest against the murdering of 22 year old woman who was killed by hijab police in Iran.
