| Additional Information | Legislation enacted by New Jersey in February 1999 requires electric distribution companies to offer net metering to residential and small commercial customers with photovoltaic and wind-energy systems. Rule revisions were made by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) incorporating certain changes made by S.B. 2936 in January 2008 and improvements based on program experience. These rules took effect January 4, 2010. There are three different levels of review procedures for applications, depending on size and certification. Level 1 applies to inverter-based systems with a capacity rating of 10 kilowatts (kW) or less. Level 2 applies to systems with a maximum capacity of 2 MW that are certified by a nationally-recognized testing and certification laboratory as meeting IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 compliance standards. Level 3 applies to systems that do not qualify for either the Level 1 or Level 2 interconnection review procedures. Fees vary by level. There is no fee for Level 1 interconnection. Level 2 interconnection may include a fee of $50 plus $1 per kW of capacity (not to exceed $100). Level 3 may include a fee of $100 plus $2 per kW of capacity, as well as charges for actual time spent on any impact and/or facilities studies required by the standard. Interconnection to networks is permitted. Utilities must file interconnections reports with the BPU twice annually. Reports must list, by Class I technology type, the total number of interconnected customers, the total generating capacity of interconnected customers, and the total number of customers interconnected since June 15, 2001. |
