An EDC shall review interconnection requests using one
or more of the following four review procedures:
(1) An EDC shall use Level 1 procedures for
evaluation of all interconnection requests to connect inverter-based small
generation facilities when:
(i) The small
generator facility has an electric nameplate capacity of 10 kW or
less.
(ii) The customer
interconnection equipment proposed for the small generator facility is
certified.
(2) An EDC
shall use Level 2 procedures for evaluating interconnection requests to connect
small generation facilities when:
(i) The
small generator facility uses an inverter for interconnection.
(ii) The electric nameplate capacity rating
is 2 MW or less.
(iii) The customer
interconnection equipment proposed for the small generator facility is
certified.
(iv) The proposed
interconnection is to a radial distribution circuit, or a spot network limited
to serving one customer.
(v) The
small generator facility was reviewed under Level 1 review procedures but not
approved.
(3) An EDC
shall use Level 3 review procedures for evaluating interconnection requests to
connect small generation facilities with an electric nameplate capacity of 2 MW
or less which do not qualify under Level 1 or Level 2 interconnection review
procedures or which have been reviewed under Level 1 or Level 2 review
procedures, but have not been approved for interconnection.
(4) Interconnection customers that do not
qualify for Level 1 or Level 2 review and do not export power beyond the point
of common coupling may request to be evaluated under Level 4 review procedures
which provide for a potentially expedited review process.
