N.J. Admin. Code § 14:8-5.7 - Interconnection fees
(a) An EDC or
supplier/provider shall not charge an application or other fee to an applicant
that requests level 1 interconnection review. However, if an application for
level 1 interconnection review is denied because it does not meet the
requirements for level 1 interconnection review and the applicant resubmits the
application under another review procedure in accordance with
N.J.A.C.
14:8-5.4(p), the EDC may
impose a fee for the resubmitted application, consistent with this
section.
(b) For a level 2
interconnection review, the EDC may charge fees of up to $ 50.00 plus $ 1.00
per kilowatt of the customer-generator facility's capacity, plus the cost of
any minor modifications to the electric distribution system or additional
review, if required under
N.J.A.C.
14:8-5.5 (o)3 or 4. Costs
for such minor modifications or additional review shall be based on EDC
estimates and shall be subject to case-by-case review by the Board or its
designee. Costs for engineering work done as part of any additional review
shall not exceed $ 100.00 per hour.
(c) For a level 3 interconnection review, the
EDC may charge fees of up to $ 100.00 plus $ 2.00 per kilowatt of the
customer-generator facility's capacity, as well as charges for actual time
spent on any impact and/or facilities studies required under
N.J.A.C.
14:8-5.6. Costs for engineering work done as
part of an impact study or facilities study shall not exceed $ 100.00 per hour.
If the EDC must install facilities in order to accommodate the interconnection
of the customer-generator facility, the cost of such facilities shall be the
responsibility of the applicant.
(d) An EDC shall not charge any fee or other
charge for connecting to the EDC's equipment or for operation of a
customer-generator facility for the purposes of net metering, except for the
fees provided for under this subchapter.
