The detailed components of this updated tool help state utility regulators, energy industry professionals, utilities, policymakers and other energy DER (distributed energy resources) stakeholders as they develop and/or refine the rules of the road for grid access, known as interconnection. The 2019 Model Procedures reflect the latest evolution in best interconnection practices to facilitate higher penetrations of DERs on the grid, integrating new technologies while maintaining grid safety and reliability. Included are important refinements that come from the use of earlier versions of the procedures across the country. We also take the first steps toward defining a clear interconnection process for energy storage systems.
