1. (1) To participate in the Community Solar Program, a project must:

   1. (a) Be located within the Oregon service territory of an electric company; and
   2. (b) Have a nameplate capacity of three megawatts or less.

2. (2) “Co-location” means two or more projects that exhibit characteristics of a single development, such as common ownership structure, an umbrella sale arrangement, revenue-sharing arrangements, or common debt or equity financing. Projects are not considered co located solely because the same person provides tax equity financing for the projects. Co location of projects is not permitted within a five-mile radius unless:

   1. (a) The aggregate nameplate capacity of the co-located projects is three megawatts or less; or
   2. (b) The co-located projects are all sited within a single municipality or urban area as defined in the Program Implementation Manual.
3. (3) Multiple solar photovoltaic energy systems that are aggregated into one project must all be located within a single electric company’s service territory.
