Or. Admin. Code § 860-082-0005 - Scope and Applicability
(1) OAR
860-082-0005 through
860-082-0085 (the "small
generator interconnection rules") govern the interconnection of a small
generator facility with a nameplate rating of 10 megawatts or less to a public
utility's transmission or distribution system. These rules do not apply if the
interconnection between the small generator facility and the public utility is
subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC).
(2) Except as specified in
OAR 860-082-0025(1)(b),
the small generator interconnection rules do not apply retroactively to a small
generator facility that was interconnected to a public utility's transmission
or distribution system prior to the effective date of the small generator
interconnection rules (an "existing small generator facility"). These rules
become applicable to an existing small generator facility at the expiration of
the agreement governing the terms of the interconnection of the existing small
generator facility to the interconnected public utility's transmission or
distribution system. If an existing agreement does not have an expiration date,
then the small generator interconnection rules become applicable to the
existing small generator facility 10 years after the effective date of the
rules. An existing small generator facility must submit an application under
OAR 860-082-0025(1)(e)
to the interconnected public utility no later than 60 business days before the
date that the small generator interconnection rules become
applicable.
(3) Except where
explicitly noted in OAR chapter 860, division 039, the small generator
interconnection rules do not apply to the interconnection of a net metering
facility, which is governed by OAR chapter 860, division 039.
(4) A small generator facility that qualifies
as a "small power production facility" under OAR
860-029-0010(25)
must also comply with the rules in OAR chapter 860, division 029. If there is a
conflict between the small generator interconnection rules and the rules in OAR
chapter 860, division 029, then the small generator interconnection rules
control.
