"Ontario's Green Energy Act represents North America's most ambitious and far reaching enabling legislation and will place Ontario as a world leader in renewable energy development, industrial innovation and climate protection"
Dr. Hermann Scheer, President of EUROSOLAR; General Chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE); President of the International Parliamentary Forum on Renewable Energies; Member of the German Bundestag.

"Ontario's Green Energy Act could propel the province past California as the most innovative North American leader in the renewable energy field. This is the sort of healthy, friendly competition between Canada and the US that will leave us both better off."
Denis Hayes, Former Director, the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory and founder of Earth Day

"The government is holding the door wide open for renewable energy. Though the details about the tariff levels, grid access and community power still need to be worked out, the commitment on the part of the government is encouraging and the potential for Ontario enormous."
Deb Doncaster, Executive Director of the Community Power Fund and Director of the Green Energy Act Alliance

"Ontario's Green Energy Act and supporting initiatives are the most comprehensive renewable energy policy entered anywhere around the world. It will enact a balanced and broad-based program. Most importantly, it builds on worldwide experience to date on ‘what works.' This gives us confidence that the legislation will have its intended effects on the adoption of renewable energy. It also sets an important example for other governments to adopt policies that have been shown to be effective and economical."
Michael T. Eckhart, President, American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)

"Ontario farmers are ready to do their part to produce more green energy while putting food on the shelves. The Green Energy Act is an opportunity to remove barriers to renewable energy generation so we can use our sustainably produced on farm resources."
Don McCabe, Vice-President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture

"This Act puts in place the framework for green energy to thrive and could set us on a path toward a future based on the efficient use of renewable energy. We look forward to working with the government to build on this framework as the Act is finalized and implemented."
Keith Stewart, Climate Change Campaign Manager, WWF-Canada

"A Green Energy Act will ensure that green energy and green jobs come first before polluting power. It will put Ontario to work rebuilding our ageing electricity system and fighting climate change."
Cherise Burda, Ontario Policy Director, The Pembina Institute

"As we have been travelling the province, residents, farmers, First Nations, cooperatives, municipalities, distribution companies, commercial operations and institutions have been clear: they want to be conservers and generators of clean, green, sustainable energy. The Green Energy Act promises to be a landmark piece of legislation and we should all be proud that our government is listening and leading us."
Kristopher Stevens, Executive Director, Ontario Sustainable Energy Association

"The Government of Ontario is right to stop the waste of public time and money on meritless NIMBY complaints while supporting principled protection of the environment. The Green Energy Act should fix a cumbersome process that has seemingly frustrating everybody including residents, generators, farmers, consumers and environmentalists for years."
David Donnelly, Donnelly Law and Strategic Counsel to the Green Energy Act Alliance

"First Nations across Ontario are quite excited about the Green Energy Act and are anticipating supporting mechanisms to become proponents in the emerging renewable energy sector."
Michael Fox, Founding Director of the First Nations Energy Alliance
