Section R. 460.990 - Interconnection penalties
Rule 90. Pursuant to section 10 e of 1939 PA 3, MCL 460.10e, an electric utility shall take all necessary steps to ensure that DERs are connected to the distribution systems within their operational control. If the commission finds, after notice and hearing, that an electric utility has prevented or unduly delayed the ability of a DER greater than 100 kW to connect to the distribution system of the electric utility, the commission may order remedies designed to make whole the applicant proposing the DER, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees. If the electric utility violates this rule, the commission may order fines of not more than $50,000 per calendar day, commensurate with the demonstrated impact of the violation.
