Each shall have access to the records of the other.(d) A utility may inspect a qualifying facility, on demand, to determine if the qualifying facility is complying with the previously-approved maintenance schedule and is safely operating all protective equipment.(e) A utility may inspect the qualifying facility and its records, on demand, to determine if the qualifying facility is, or has been, reselling the utility's energy and/or capacity to the utility.(f) Personnel from both a utility and a qualifying facility shall have the right to witness inspections.
