• Chabot-Gipe PIM Ontario Wind T1-T2 2009 Tariffs-825-V90-2900-Rev PI.xls Table with multiple tabs calculating T1 and T2 wind tariffs. Note that these were the last tables submitted to the Ontario government in spring 2009 before tariff setting began and were the joint position of CanWEA and OSEA. Note on tab "Teq and T2" that the annual specific yield used in the calculations is translated into wind speeds at hub height for those unfamiliar with specific yield.
