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.
