It's a little unclear to me, but I think looking at just output from generation is not fair to solar. Solar has 2000 MW of installed "embedded" capacity. This is cheaper for the grid since it doesn't have to go through as much of the distribution network, meaning it has less efficiency loss and doesn't require transmission capacity. Solar makes up 60% of the embedded capacity[1] (where is the embedded hydro coming from?? lmao). It seems embedded capacity reduced demand by 5TWh in 2019[2]. Comparing this to "actual demand" from the same chart shows that it was roughly 5/140 =~4% of the supplied electricity. Let's say it was 20% of the GA in the summer and 0% in the winter for a sketchy 10% average of the fees. This doesn't seem too far out of line, although it is obviously a few times higher than the others, but it's not far enough out of whack that I think calling it peanuts is justified. 1: http://ieso.ca/en/Learn/Ontario-Supply-Mix/Ontario-Energy-Capacity http://ieso.ca/en/Learn/Ontario-Supply-Mix/Ontario-Energy-Ca... 2: http://www.ieso.ca/en/Corporate-IESO/Media/Year-End-Data http://www.ieso.ca/en/Corporate-IESO/Media/Year-End-Data
