Last week, we released our eagerly awaited updated
IREC Model Interconnection Procedures.
Initially developed in 2005 and updated in 2009 and 2013, the 2019 edition reflects the latest evolution in best practices to facilitate higher penetrations of distributed energy resources (DERs) on the grid, integrating new technologies while maintaining grid safety and reliability.
The model procedures help state utility regulators, energy industry professionals, utilities, policymakers and other energy DER stakeholders as they develop and/or refine the rules of the road for grid access, known as interconnection. Included are important refinements that come from the use of these procedures across the country. We also take the first steps toward defining a clear interconnection process for energy storage systems
