| Additional Information |
Iowa rules set four levels of review for interconnection requests. A project must meet all of the requirements of a given classification in order to be eligible for that level of expedited review. Tier 1: Lab-certified, inverter-based systems with a capacity rating of 10 kilowatts (kW) or less. Tier 2: Lab-certified systems with a capacity rating of 2 MW or less, connected to a radial distribution network or a spot network serving one customer. Tier 3: Lab-certified, inverter-based systems with a capacity rating of 50 kW or less which are connected to an area network and which will not export power; or lab-certified, non-exporting systems connected to a radial distribution circuit where the aggregate total of all generator nameplate capacity is no more than 10 MW (including the distributed generator applicant). Tier 4: Systems with a capacity of 10 MW or less that do not meet the criteria for inclusion in a lower tier, including all systems using non-lab-certified components and those that require additional construction by the utility in order accommodate the facility. |
