N.H. Admin. Code § Puc 908.06 - Violations of Authorization to Interconnect

(a) After notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the commission shall revoke, suspend, or condition the authorization for a customer-generator to interconnect a net-metered facility, or take such other action consistent with the above that it deems warranted if it finds good cause therefor.

(b) "Good cause," as such phrase is used in (a) above, shall exist if the commission finds one or more of the following:

(1) The customer-generator was granted authority to operate based on false or misleading information supplied by the applicant which:

a. Is material; and

b. The applicant knew or should have known was false or misleading;

(2) The facility was not installed or is not being operated in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable utility interconnection requirements;

(3) The customer-generator has failed to comply with the conditions of approval to operate or representations made in the filing for approval to operate; or

(4) Other conditions, consistent with (1) through (3) above, exist which the commission finds necessitate revocation or suspension, or placing conditions on, the authorization to interconnect.

(c) In determining the actions to be taken based on its finding in (a) above, the commission shall consider the following:

(1) The severity of the consequences resulting from the violation, such that the more severe the consequences, the more severe the action to be taken;

(2) Mitigating circumstances, such as how quickly the customer-generator took action to rectify the situation, how much control the customer-generator had over the situation, and other circumstances that would tend to lessen the fault of the customer-generator; and

(3) Any prior violations of Puc 900.
