Province index
Province rules change the value path for the same equipment.
Direct answer
Enerwav publishes a province guide only when current official evidence supports a distinct utility, tariff, settlement, connection, or resource decision. Five provinces now meet that review threshold. Unverified provinces remain unbuilt rather than cloned.

A province name is not a tariff
Electricity value depends on the utility, rate class, billing determinants, export treatment, market settlement, and interconnection rules. Province guidance can narrow the questions, but the customer's bill still controls the calculation.
Alberta starts with micro-generation class and retailer structure
The Alberta guide separates small and large micro-generation, retail or wholesale credit treatment, distribution-company connection, and delivery charges. It does not use a default small-business energy rate as a large commercial input.
Ontario separates net-metering credits from Global Adjustment
The Ontario guide distinguishes the current regulatory capacity criterion, utility interconnection, Class A or Class B settlement, and one named utility demand-tariff example. OEB credit scope and carry-forward details remain unavailable while the official pages cannot be reached.
British Columbia separates import service from self-generation
The British Columbia guide distinguishes BC Hydro General Service classes, demand and energy units, the 2026 self-generation schedule transition, utility authorization, Vancouver resource context, and province-filtered project records.
Saskatchewan starts with service and interconnection study
The Saskatchewan guide distinguishes supplied transformation, kVA demand, monthly energy blocks, study and quotation gates, a dated bill credit, Regina resource evidence, and the present absence of a reviewed provincial project record.
Quebec separates Rate G, Rate M, and surplus banking
The Quebec guide distinguishes the two business-rate structures, Net Metering Option I, ownership and authorization, Montreal resource context, the project-record gap, and the equivalent English and Canadian French guidance.
Future province pages require differentiated evidence
A new province page needs current official rules, a source register, real project records, and a distinct user decision. Keyword substitution is not enough.
Province guidance narrows the evidence search
A province guide can identify the governing market structure, official program entry points, common connection route, and province-specific settlement question. It cannot identify the customer's utility class, contract, meter configuration, load profile, approved project size, or current account treatment without site evidence.
The province hub points to separate guidance instead of presenting a national table of assumed prices. Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Quebec have distinct guides because their official sources describe different micro-generation, self-generation, net-metering, tariff, and settlement decisions. For another province, begin with the customer's current utility and tariff.
OEB details that could not be checked are omitted
Ontario Regulation 541/05 supports the renewable-generation criteria and the 500 kW cumulative output limit for electricity returned under net metering. The OEB pages that describe credit scope and carry-forward could not be reached during the 17 July 2026 source check, so this guide does not repeat those details.
The Ontario guide separates those unavailable details from the current regulation, utility tariff, interconnection, and IESO settlement sources. One available source is not used to prove a different claim.
Bring the account evidence to the province guide
Before using a province guide, identify the legal account holder, service address, distributor, retailer where applicable, rate class, meter identifiers, billing period, energy units, demand units, fixed and variable charges, export arrangement, taxes, riders, interval-data source, and utility contact or portal used for current information.
The owner should also record planned project type, preliminary size, expected operating mode, available-for-use target, interconnection status, and whether storage is intended for demand, Global Adjustment, energy shifting, or resilience. These facts determine which sections of the province guide apply.
What to check in a province not listed here
Start with the legal account holder, current utility, service class, tariff, meter, import and export rules, connection process, and the official sources in force for that province.
If a rule cannot be confirmed, leave the dependent value out of the calculation. General national guidance cannot replace the utility and market rules that apply to the actual account.
Carry province findings into the requirements brief
The selected guide should produce a short handoff: controlling utility or market party, account class, import and export treatment, interval-data source, application path, project records reviewed, under-review claims, and the next evidence owner. That handoff keeps province context attached when the project moves into engineering, budgeting, tax, or contract review.
Every dated source should travel with that handoff.
