| Additional Information | In November 2005, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) adopted rules governing the interconnection of distributed generation (DG). Indiana's interconnection rules require the state's investor-owned utilities to provide three levels of interconnection to customer-generators. Level 1 interconnection applies to inverter-based systems with a maximum nameplate capacity of 10 kilowatts (kW). These systems must comply with IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 standards. There are no application fees or other fees for Level 1 interconnection review. Utilities may not impose additional requirements not specified in the IURC rules. There are specific limitations on a single system's potential impact and the aggregate potential impact on the grid under Level 1 interconnection. Level 2 interconnection applies to systems with a maximum capacity of 2 megawatts (MW). These systems also must comply with IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 standards. For Level 2 interconnection, a utility may charge fees of up to $50, plus $1 per kW of the system's nameplate capacity, plus the cost of any minor modifications to the electric distribution system or additional review. Costs for engineering work done as part of any additional review may not exceed $100 per hour. There are specific limitations on a single system's potential impact and the aggregate potential impact on the grid under Level 2 interconnection. Level 3 interconnection applies to systems that do not qualify for either Level 1 or Level 2 interconnection procedures. For Level 3 interconnection review, a utility may charge up to $100 plus $2 per kW of the system's nameplate capacity, as well as charges for actual time spent on any impact or facilities studies required by Indiana's rules. Costs for engineering work done as part of any impact or facilities study may not exceed $100 per hour. |
