Procedure Under Which to Evaluate Interconnection Request
1
Please
indicate below which review procedure applies to the interconnection request.
The review procedure used is subject to confirmation by the EDC.
Level 2
– Lab-certified interconnection
equipment with an aggregate electric nameplate capacity not exceeding the
specifications in Section 466.90(b)(2). Lab-certified is defined in Section 466.20.
(Application fee is $100 plus $1.00 per kVA.)
Level 3
– Distributed energy
resource facility does not export power. Nameplate capacity rating is less
than or equal to 50 kW if connecting to area network or less than or equal to 10
MW if connecting to a radial distribution feeder. (Application fee amount is
$500 plus $2.00 per kVA.)
Level 4
– Nameplate
capacity rating is less than or equal to 10 MVA and the distributed energy
resource facility does not qualify for a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 review, or
the distributed energy resource facility has been reviewed but not approved
under a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 review. (Application fee amount is $1,000
plus $2.00 per kVA, to be applied toward any subsequent studies related to this
application.)
