Section R. 460.970 - Cost allocation of interconnection facilities, distribution upgrades, and associated operation and maintenance costs
Current through Vol. 24-16, September 15, 2024
Rule 70. Costs for interconnection facilities, distribution upgrades, and associated operation and maintenance costs must be classified into 1 of the following categories:
(a) Site-specific costs, which include, but are not limited to, costs of interconnection facilities and distribution upgrades that are caused by 1 DER, whether that DER is electrically co-incident with other DERs or not. These costs must be assigned to the cost-causing applicant.
(b) Shared interconnection facilities costs, which are costs caused by DERs which together necessitate the construction of interconnection facilities. The interconnection facilities costs, including any associated operation and maintenance costs, that should be shared must be allocated to each applicant based on a methodology described in the electric utility's interconnection procedures.
(c) Shared distribution upgrade costs, which are costs caused by electrically coincident DERs that together necessitate a distribution upgrade. The distribution upgrade costs, including any associated operation and maintenance costs, that should be shared must be allocated to each applicant based on a methodology described in the electric utility's interconnection procedures.
