published on Go To Comments

KEY POINTS
  • Winnipeg's city council recently adopted "change for solar" which removes a requirement of an Electrical engineer stamp for small-scale residential projects. This move will save residential customers up to $1200.
  • An expedited process is now in place to handle solar projects in 10 days, which will also benefit projects over 10kW. Prior to this change, the administrative process for solar could take up to 6 months to complete.
