PSC Seeks Comments Re: Modifications To Interconnection Requirements
Any interested person or entity is invited to submit comments on the Petition through May 12, 2025.
{***} “On February 14, 2025, the New York Solar Energy Industries Association (NYSEIA) filed a petition (the Petition) requesting modifications to the Standardized Interconnection Requirements (SIRs).1 NYSEIA proposes that the SIRs require utilities to provide more detailed cost estimates for distribution upgrades necessary for interconnection, impose a 15 percent cap on cost increases for such upgrades, require utilities to annually publish itemized actual costs for common upgrades, and direct utilities to provide a detailed and itemized statement of final costs for all upgrades. NYSEIA argues that these changes will provide greater transparency and cost certainty for distributed energy resource developers that must pay for upgrades to utility systems in order to interconnect to the electric grid.” {***}
