New York Staff Proposal for Distrib Gen Interconnection

The report was issued by Staff Wednesday July 21 in accordance with the 45 day SAPA (State Administration Procedures Act). The Technical and Non Technical reports and the Staff proposal report are available on the NYS DPS website in pdf format.

New York State Standardized/Interconnection Requirements For Distributed Generators 300 Kilovolt-Amperes or Less Connected In Parallel With Radial Distribution Lines

– Staff Interconnection Proposal

– Technical Report Dealing With Standard Interconnection Requirements

– Non-Technical Report Dealing with Application Process and Contract Documents

The above two reports were submitted to staff by a collaborative effort of parties including utilities and manufacturers of distributed generation technologies as well as other interested parties. These reports were submitted in response to the Chairman’s request, that staff strive to standardize and streamline existing interconnection requirements, while not impacting the safety and reliability of New York’s electric infrastructure, and not adding to ratepayer costs. Staff will prepare a proposal based on these reports, that will be available for comment via the State Administrative Procedures Act (SAPA). Staff’s proposal will also be posted to this website. After comments are receive and evaluated, staff will prepare recommendations for Commission consideration.
