Section 467.50  Interconnection Request Review

a)         Applicants seeking to interconnect a DER facility, or to revise a DER facility that has already been interconnected, shall submit an interconnection request to the EDC that owns the electric distribution system to which interconnection is sought. Applicants shall use interconnection request forms approved by the Commission. The EDC may require additional information from the Applicant if the EDC can demonstrate that the additional information is necessary in order for the EDC to conduct its review under this Part.

b)         The application fee is specified in the interconnection application form (see Appendix B).

c)         Interconnection requests may be submitted electronically.

d)         If the timelines provided in this Part cannot be met due to the unique characteristics of the proposed facility, parties shall negotiate timelines that differ from those established in this Part. Alternative timelines may be needed to account for project complexities, personnel requirements or other outside factors regarding a particular project. If a mutual agreement is not reached, parties may use the dispute resolution procedures in Section 467.80.
