IMPORTANT NOTES
Hydro One Connection Impact Assessment Application (Form B) | ||
Applicants are cautioned NOT to incur major expenses until Hydro One approves to connect the proposed generation facility.
All technical submissions (Form B, Single Line Diagrams, etc.) must be signed, dated and sealed by a licensed Ontario Professional Engineer (P.Eng.).
If your project is 10 kW or less (micro-embedded), please fill out Hydro One’s “Micro-Generation Connection Application (Form C)” available at:https://www.hydroone.com/business-services/generators/microfit
If you are applying for connection of a Load Displacement or Energy Storage facility, the assessment performed by Hydro One is a called a Detailed Technical Connection Assessment or “DTCA”. For such facilities, the term Connection Impact Assessment or “CIA” as it appears throughout this Form B Application shall be interpreted to mean Detailed Technical Connection Assessment or “DTCA”.
The siting restrictions in O. Reg. 274/18 which were administered by electricity distributors such as Hydro One have been replaced by amendments to the Planning Act (Ontario) that puts siting and planning requirements for renewable energy generation facilities under municipal oversight. It is recommended that you discuss municipal permitting and approvals requirements with the planning department in the municipality where your Generation project is located before you proceed.
Generators applying for a new CIAGenerators applying for revision(s) to their original CIAEmergency Backup Generators should use the Emergency Backup Generation Application Form available at: https://www.hydroone.com/business-services/generators/fit

Generator Fault Contribution with fault location at the PCC
On a cut-out from the Hydro One DOM (Distribution Operating Map) provide the location of the generation facility with proposed line routings for connection to Hydro One’s distribution system. It should identify the POC, the PCC, and the location of new lines between the generation facility and the POC (ie. on private property or public road right-of-ways). (Not required for existing load customers that are connecting a load displacement generation, net metering generation or energy storage system behind their existing metered connection point)
SLD Drawing/Sketch Number SLD Revision Number
Please provide an SLD of the Generator’s facilities, including the PCC, transformer and connecting station, feeder, and supply voltage.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If this project requires line expansion work between the POC and PCC, Hydro One will provide a cost estimate to construct any line located on public road right-of-way. The cost estimate will include a breakdown of Uncontestable work (i.e. overbuild to existing line) that can only be performed by Hydro One, as well as Contestable work (i.e. new construction/green-field) that can be performed by the Generator, their contractor or Hydro One. (Both Uncontestable work and Contestable work requires the design to Hydro One specifications). Hydro One will become the owner of the line expansion.
For Generator-owned line, the Generator may choose to apply for installation of the line on existing Hydro One-owned poles. This is known as an application for Joint Use (JU) of poles. If the application is accepted, Hydro One will provide the Generator with information on initial connection costs, annual pole-space rental and emergen-cy service (ES) fees, and required JU & ES Agreements.
Please see “Form B - Instructions” for definitions of “Point of Connection (POC)” and “Point of Common Coupling (PCC)”.
Important: The line between the PCC and the Generation Facility must NOT be shared with any other DG(refer to Appendix A).

At a minimum, include the forecasted generation output information (i.e. Watts and VARs) during the minimum and maximum of the load facility to which the load displacement generator is connecting (see Appendix C for template)
Hydro One reserves the right to modify the control strategy as part of its Detailed Technical Connection Assessment.
