| Additional Information | In December 2007, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) approved new interconnection guidelines for distributed energy systems up to 20 megawatts (MW) in capacity. Connecticut's interconnection guidelines apply to the state's two investor-owned utilities -- Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) and United Illuminating Company (UI) -- and are modeled on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) interconnection standards for small generators. Connecticut's interconnection guidelines, 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. Note that the guidelines include "additional process steps" for generators greater than 5 MW. Connecticut's guidelines include a standard interconnection agreement and application fees that vary by system type. |
