We offer the Exploratory Study as an option to assess the feasibility of your potential generation at a conceptual level.
Learn more about the process and apply below.
Processing Time: 15 calendar days
Review the Exploratory Study process and submit an Exploratory Study Application by emailing us.
The fee for the study is $5,000 plus taxes
Processing Time: 45 calendar days
We’ll begin the study and develop a draft report.
You’ll review the draft report and submit questions to us within 15 days of receiving the report. At your request, we can meet with you to review the draft.
We’ll develop and provide you with the finalized report.
After reviewing the report, if this is something you’d like to proceed with please begin the Standard Generator Interconnection Procedure.
How to Connect a Generation Facility
We’ve developed the Standard Generation Interconnection Procedure (SGIP) to assist you in understanding the process required to interconnect a generator to the transmission system.
Projects 1 MW or More – Voltage Level Greater Than or Equal to 25 kV
If you’re looking to connect a facility with a generating capacity of 1 MW or more, please review the procedure below.
Processing Time: 15 calendar days
Review the SGIP process and submit the Interconnection Request application. This includes a non-refundable $15,000 deposit. Once completed, email us.
We’ll review your application. If any information is missing, it must be submitted before moving to the next stage. You’ll also be assigned a queue position.
Processing Time: 90 calendar days
