Standard Interconnection Agreements & Procedures
for Large Generators
The Commission has issued rules governing standard procedures and
a standard agreement for the interconnection of generators larger than 20 megawatts -
actions designed to facilitate development of needed infrastructure for the nation's electric
system.
The rule covering the larger generators will:
- Reduce interconnection time and cost;
- Help preserve reliability;
- Increase energy supply; and
- Lower wholesale prices for the nation's customers by increasing the number and variety of independent generators that can compete in the wholesale electricity markets
The rule requires public utilities that offer transmission services also to offer nondiscriminatory,
standardized interconnection service. It amends Order No. 888's pro
forma tariff to help remedy remaining undue discrimination under the open access
required by Order No. 888.
