The Generating Facility design does not satisfy one or more of the requirements listed in R14-2-2615(A), (E), or (F) or does not meet one or more of the Utility's Interconnection requirements, which shall be specified, and the Application is therefore deemed incomplete and not approved for Interconnection.
