Reforms are expected to reduce the time and cost required to process rug cleaners small generator requests for Interconnection rug cleaners Customers while maintaining reliability, increasing energy supply, rug cleaners and removing barriers to the development of new distributed resources.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Final Rule [1] on November 22 amending the pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Procedures (SGIP) and pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA). The SGIP and SGIA govern the interconnection of Small Generating Facilities with a public utility s transmission facilities or its FERC-jurisdictional distribution facilities and apply to facilities with capacity up to 20 megawatts (MW). The SGIP and SGIA also include special fast track provisions for Small Generating Facilities rug cleaners (no larger than 2 MW) as well as inverter-based facilities up to 10 kilowatts (kW).
FERC concluded that the reforms adopted in the Final Rule will reduce the time and cost required to process small generator requests for Interconnection Customers, maintain reliability, increase energy supply, and remove barriers to the development of new distributed resources. The effective date of the Final Rule is 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register . As detailed below, Transmission Providers are required to make compliance filings within six months of the effective date of the Final Rule.
As part of the Final Rule, FERC adopted a proposal included in its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that requires Transmission Providers to provide Interconnection Customers with an opportunity to request preapplication reports. FERC concluded that preapplication reports will help Interconnection Customers make more informed siting decisions and may diminish the practice of making rug cleaners multiple rug cleaners interconnection requests for a single project. Transmission Providers are required to provide a preapplication report within 20 business days of an initial request. A preapplication report rug cleaners will apply only to a single Point of Interconnection. rug cleaners
To rug cleaners facilitate the preparation of the report, an Interconnection Customer is required to complete rug cleaners a preapplication report request form. This form is set forth in section 1.2.2 of the pro forma SGIP and requests, among other things, the following information from the Interconnection Customer: Type and size of generator Single- or three-phase generator configuration Whether the generator is stand-alone rug cleaners or serves on-site load Whether the project requires new service or is an expansion of existing service For single-phase circuits, the distance of the Point of Interconnection from the three-phase circuit
In response to concerns raised by a number of commenters, FERC clarified the data a Transmission Provider must provide and prepare for the preapplication report. A Transmission Provider must provide only data that is readily available, meaning information rug cleaners that the Transmission Provider rug cleaners currently has on hand. The Transmission Provider is not required to create new data, but it must gather and summarize information rug cleaners that it has readily available, such as available capacity or an estimate of available capacity, and must perform simple calculations using this information. The Transmission Provider is also required to provide reasonable clarifications but is not required to conduct any studies or analyses after issuing the report unless the Interconnection rug cleaners Customer makes a formal interconnection request.
FERC adopted a default fixed preapplication report fee of $300, which it found would often be sufficient to recover a Transmission Provider s costs of preparing the report. FERC rejected proposals to index the report fee or include an annual adjustment. However, Transmission Providers may propose a different fixed cost based fee by providing a cost justification as part of the compliance rug cleaners filing required by the Final Rule.
Both the pro forma SGIP and the preapplication report will include rug cleaners a disclaimer that the information provided in the preapplication report is nonbinding and that the Transmission Provider will not be held liable if the information is no longer accurate. FERC added this disclaimer rug cleaners in response to comments that the report should be for informational purposes only, given the dynamic nature of system conditions. FERC adopted another disclaimer that would provide rug cleaners that the bank or circuit selected by the Transmission Provider rug cleaners in the preapplication report does not necessarily indicate the circuit to which the Interconnection Custo
