Description
Interconnection is the process of “plugging into” the grid. For renewable energy, interconnection standards apply to both customer-sited and utility-scale systems, however, the focus of most interconnection standards are customer-sited systems in conjunction with net metering policies. Generally, customers want a clear, streamlined, affordable and predictable system for getting connected to the grid. Without clear interconnection standards, the process customers must follow can be burdensome and expensive. For more information, see the full policy brief.
