| Additional Information | In September 2007, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) adopted interconnection standards for distributed generation (DG) systems up to 20 megawatts (MW) in capacity. The revised standards provide for two separate levels of interconnection based on system capacity. The first level applies to systems up to 300 kilowatts (kW). The second level, which applies to systems greater than 300 kW but not greater than 20 MW, embraces the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) interconnection standards. The UTC's standards apply to the state's investor-owned electric utilities -- but not to municipal utilities or electric cooperatives. |
