Interconnection Application/Agreement
Terms and Conditions for Interconnection
For a Level 1 Review (Certified Inverter-based Units of 10kW and under)
1. Construction of the Customer-Generator Facility. The Customer-Generator may proceed
to construct (including operational testing not to exceed 2 hours) the Customer-Generator
Facility once the approval to install the Customer-Generator Facility has been received from
the Electric Distribution Company (EDC)
3
.
The Customer-Generator Facility shall be constructed in accordance with information
provided in Part 1 of the Interconnection Application/Agreement, IEEE 1547 and the Board’s
regulations.
2. Interconnection and Operation. The Customer-Generator may interconnect and operate
the Customer-Generator Facility with the EDC’s system once all of the following have
occurred:
2.1. Electrical Inspection: Upon completing construction, the Customer-Generator will have
the Customer-Generator Facility inspected or otherwise certified by the local electrical wiring
inspection authority having jurisdiction, that the facility meets the requirements of the National
Electric Code.
2.2. Certificate of Completion: The Applicant shall provide the EDC with a completed copy of
the Certificate of Completion, including evidence of the electrical inspection by the local
authority having jurisdiction. The evidence of completion of the electrical inspection may be
provided on inspection forms used by local inspecting authorities.
2.3. Inspection: The EDC has either completed its inspection or waived the right to inspection
in the Application/Agreement as follows:
2.3.1.EDC Right of Inspection. After receipt of the Certificate of Approval, the EDC will,
upon reasonable notice (minimum of 10-days notice as noted in 2.3.2 below) and at a
mutually convenient time, conduct an inspection of the Customer-Generator Facility and
observe a Witness Test to ensure that all equipment has been appropriately installed and
that all electrical connections have been made in accordance with its requirements.
Page 4
2.3.2. Witness Test. For Level 1 review projects only, if the EDC does not inspect the
installation within 10 business days after the minimum notice period of 10 business days,
or by mutual agreement of the Parties, the Witness Test is deemed waived.
2.4. Metering: Revenue quality metering equipment shall be installed and tested by the EDC.
(Note: The EDC may allow interconnected operations prior to the meter installation.)
2.5. Acceptance: The EDC’s representative has signed Part 2, the Certificate of Completion,
approving the facility for energization.
3. Periodic Testing. All interconnection-related protective functions and associated batteries
shall be periodically tested at intervals specified by the manufacturer, system integrator, or
authority that has jurisdiction over the Customer-Generator Facility interconnection. Periodic test
reports or a log for inspection shall be maintained.
4. Safe Operations and Maintenance. The Customer-Generator shall be fully responsible to
operate, maintain, and repair the Customer-Generator Facility as required to ensure that the
Customer-Generator Facility complies at all times with the interconnection standards it has been
certified to meet.
5. Access. The EDC shall have access to the metering equipment and the disconnecting
means of the Customer-Generator Facility at all times. The EDC shall provide reasonable
notice to the Customer-Generator, when possible, prior to using its right of access. In an
emergency or outage situation, where there is no access to an AC disconnecting means such
as a switch or breaker, the EDC may disconnect the service to the premise.
6. Exterior AC Disconnect Switch. Based upon the EDC’s concern for the safety of its
associates and for the safety of the general public, the EDC recommends the installation of an
exterior AC disconnect switch, to be available to utility personnel at all times. If such switch is
installed outside the Customer-Generator’s premises, it should be located near the billing meter
or, in the alternative, near where the service entrance facilities enter the premises. Also if
installed, this AC disconnect switch shall have a plaque to state the existence of the generating
equipment controlled by the switch, and its location if applicable. (See sample of AC Disconnect
Switch placard.) However, New Jersey’s Net Metering regulations do not specifically require the
installation of an exterior externally operable AC disconnect switch for use in isolating the
Customer-Generator Facility.
6.1 The use of an exterior AC disconnect switch, readily-accessible to the EDC, available to
utility personnel at all times: (i) provides the EDC with a means to isolate the Customer-
Generator Facility from its main distribution panel; (ii) allows the EDC to perform testing on
Page 5
the installation; and (iii) allows the EDC to perform work on the local electrical system without
interrupting the Customer-Generator’s service for safety reasons. Customer-Generator
recognizes that without this switch, service to its premises will be interrupted when work
must be performed. (Please Note: Some EDCs may provide additional incentives to
encourage the Customer-Generator to provide & install an exterior AC disconnect switch,
readily accessible to the EDC adjacent to the EDC’s electrical meter or at a location
approved by the EDC. Please contact your EDC or refer to your EDC’s tariff for specific
information.)
6.2 If a readily accessible exterior AC disconnect switch to the EDC is not utilized, then the
EDC may install an externally located plaque at the meter location to indicate the presence
of the Customer-Generator Facility. In accordance with Article 690.56 of the National
Electrical Code (2005), the Customer-Generator must install a plaque indicating where the
AC disconnect means is located. If the Customer-Generator does not have an external
meter, the plaque shall be placed in the vicinity of the service entrance or lateral. The plaque
shall be made of a suitable weather proof, UV resistant, permanent-type material and be
yellow with black lettering.
6.3 In accordance with Article 690.14(D) of the National Electrical Code (2005), for utility-
interactive inverters mounted in not-readily accessible locations to utility personnel, a
permanent plaque or directory, denoting all electrical power sources and disconnect
switches on or in the premises, shall be installed by the Customer-Generator at each
service equipment location, and at the locations of all electric power production sources
capable of being interconnected with the utility. Plaques shall be made of a suitable
weather proof, UV resistant, permanent-type material and be yellow with black lettering.
7. Operations / Disconnection. The EDC may temporarily disconnect the Customer-
Generator Facility upon occurrence of the following conditions:
7.1.For scheduled outages upon reasonable notice,
7.2.For unscheduled outages or emergency conditions,
7.3.If the EDC determines that the Customer-Generator Facility does not operate in a
manner consistent with this Application/Agreement.
7.4.If the EDC determines that continued operation of the Customer-Generator Facility is
a safety hazard to the EDC’s personnel or to the general public.
7.5.In the event the interconnection equipment used by the Customer-Generator Facility
is de-listed by the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory that provided the listing at
Page 6
the time the interconnection was approved and the EDC ascertains that the continued
operation has the potential to cause a safety, reliability or a power quality problem.
8. Indemnification. The Parties shall at all times indemnify, defend, and save the other Party
harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, including claims and actions relating to
injury to or death of any person or damage to property, demand, suits, recoveries, costs and
expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties, arising out
of or resulting from the other Party's action or inactions of its obligations under these terms and
conditions on behalf of the indemnifying Party, except in cases of gross negligence or
intentional wrongdoing by the indemnified Party.
9. Limitation of Liability. Each party’s liability to the other party for any loss, cost, claim, injury,
liability, or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, relating to or arising from any act or
omission in its performance of these terms and conditions, shall be limited to the amount of
direct damage actually incurred. In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any
indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever.
10. Termination. This Application/Agreement may be terminated under the following
conditions:
10.1. By Customer-Generator. The Customer-Generator may terminate this
Application/Agreement by providing written notice to the EDC.
10.2. By the EDC. The EDC may terminate this Application/Agreement if the Customer-
Generator fails to remedy a violation of terms of this Application/Agreement upon written
notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure.
11. Permanent Disconnection. In the event the Application/Agreement is terminated, the EDC
shall have the right to disconnect its facilities or direct the Customer-Generator to disconnect its
Customer-Generator Facility.
12. Survival Rights. This Application/Agreement shall continue in effect after termination to the
extent necessary to allow or require either Party to fulfill its rights or obligations that arose under
the Application/Agreement.
13. Assignment/Transfer of Ownership of the Customer-Generator Facility: This
Application/Agreement shall survive the transfer of ownership of the Customer-Generator
Facility to a new owner unless the new owner terminates this Application/Agreement and so
notifies the EDC in writing. The EDC will be responsible for contacting the new customer to
Page 7
execute a new Application/Agreement or assignation agreement, in order for the new owner to
be treated as a Net Metering customer.
14. Definitions. The capitalized terms used herein, and the definitions of such terms, are as
those used in N.J.A.C. 14:4-9, “Net Metering and Interconnection Standards for Class I
Renewable Energy Systems.”
15. Notice. Unless otherwise provided in this Application/Agreement, any written notice,
demand, or request required or authorized in connection with this Application/Agreement
