NOTICE OF A PROPOSAL
by Solar Utility Network Inc. to Engage in a Renewable Energy Project
Project Name: Ceylon Solar Park
Project Location: The site is in near northwest corner of the Village of Ceylon in Grey Highlands,
approximately 600 metres from the intersection of West Back line and Highway 4. Access to the
site is from West Back Line. The property borders commercial properties with addresses on
Highway 10 on east side and the Ceylon water treatment plant on the west. A mix of forest and

currently is used for growing of Hay. There does not appear to be any water course on the site
location.
Dated at Grey Highlands this the 20 of June 2011
Solar Utility Network Inc. is planning to engage in a renewable energy project in respect of which
the issuance of a renewable energy approval is required. The distribution of this notice of a
proposal to engage in this renewable energy project and the project itself are subject to the
provisions of the Environmental Protection Act (ACT) Part V.0.1 and Ontario Regulation 359/09
(Regulation). This notice must be distributed in accordance with section 15 of the Regulation prior
to an application being submitted and assessed for completeness by the Ministry of the
Environment.
Project Description:
Pursuant to the Act and Regulation, the facility, in respect of which the project is to be engaged
in, is considered to be a Solar Facility Class 3. If approved, this facility would have a total
maximum name plate capacity of .5 MW. The project location is described in the map below.
This project is being proposed in accordance with the requirements of the Act and Regulation.
The Draft Project Description Report titled Ceylon Solar Park Project Description Report
describes the facility as a renewable energy generation facility that will use solar photovoltaic
technology. Electricity generated by solar photovoltaic panels will be converted from DC to AC by
an inverter and subsequently stepped up to 44kV prior to being connected to the distribution line.
To meet the Ontario Power Authority feed-in tariff program requirements, a specific percentage of
equipment will be manufactured in Ontario. At this time, a final determination of solar module,
including make, model size, dimensions and number, has not been made. A written copy of the
Draft Project Description Report is being made available for public inspection at
