Requested Procedure Under Which to Evaluate Interconnection Request1

 

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.)  

 

1 Note:      Descriptions for interconnection review categories do not list all criteria that must be satisfied.  For a complete list of criteria, please refer to 83 Ill. Adm. Code 466, Electric Interconnection of Distributed Energy Resource Facilities.

Battery Operational Information

 

Backup – allows for partial or whole home transition to off-grid during a grid outage.  Yes No

 

Solar Self-Powered – the battery will charge from the renewable energy source during normal operation and discharge to serve loads behind your meter.           Yes  No

 

Solar Non-Export – limits the export of energy to the grid to zero for both the battery and inverter, even if the battery system is fully charged and there is excess renewable source energy. Yes  No

 

Time-Based Control (sometimes called time-of-use or TOU mode) – the battery charges during off-peak hours and discharges to serve onsite loads during on-peak hours.   Yes  No
