N.S. companies compete to build wind farms - Nova Scotia - CBC News

An article caught my interest on how NS is handling procurement of politically correct generation:
N.S. companies compete to build wind farms - Nova Scotia - CBC News:

In July, the government appointed an independent renewable electricity administrator to oversee a call for bids from independent producers to develop large, renewable-electricity projects.
Developers can only be awarded one project under the competitive bidding process, which will be overseen by Power Advisory, based in Carlisle, Mass.
"We expect that this will be very competitive and in the end, I think, deliver a great value to this province," said Woods.
Hmmmm - as an Ontarian I just don't get it.
Why not base it on high rates offered in an idiotic feed-in tariff mechanism with contracts gifted in a opaque process driven by influence peddling?
