| Additional Information | Connecticut's interconnection guidelines, approved in December 2007, apply to Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) and United Illuminating Company (UI) and are for distributed energy systems up to 20 megawatts (MW) in capacity. The guidelines are modeled on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) interconnection standards for small generators, and like FERC's standards, include provisions for three levels of systems: (1) Certified, inverter-based systems no larger than 10 kilowatts (kW) in capacity; (2) Certified systems no larger than 2 megawatts (MW) in capacity; and (3) All other systems no larger than 20 MW in capacity. The Connecticut guidelines also include: (1) "additional process steps" for generators greater than 5 MW; (2) a standard interconnection agreement; and (3) application fees that vary by system type. Connecticut's interconnection guidelines are stricter than the FERC interconnection standards. Additionally, the FERC standards apply to interconnections subject to FERC jurisdiction, whereas Connecticut's interconnection guidelines apply to state-jurisdiction interconnections; usually just distribution. There are special rules for net-metered systems and guidelines for non-net metered distributed generation. |
