From Notice:
[ *** ] The Authority requests written comments from participants and stakeholders on the potential inclusion of ratepayer assigned DER interconnection costs resulting from the Group Study Process in the CT-Bar capital funding mechanism. Specifically, the Authority requests stakeholders provide the following:
- A position statement on whether General Statutes § 16-244z(e) requires that the EDCs obtain cost recovery through the annual RAM proceeding for cost categories (2) and (3) as a prerequisite for completing interconnection upgrades for DER projects. Explain whether this is the exclusive mechanism for cost recovery for interconnection upgrades for DER projects.
- A statement indicating support of, opposition to, or no position on the proposal. Such statement should explain the rationale for the position and identify or provide evidence supporting the position.
- A recommendation to incorporate DER interconnection costs into the CT-Bar incremental capital funding mechanism or to pursue an alternative cost recovery mechanism for system upgrade costs related to interconnection of DER.
- Suggested alternative cost recovery or cost allocation mechanisms for system upgrade costs related to the interconnection of DER if applicable.
- Additional comments regarding opportunities to integrate the Group Study Process with other components of the PBR Framework and IDSP.
Stakeholders are directed to file written comments by 4:00 p.m. on September 10, 2025. [ *** ]
