Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 5, November 1, 2024

Section 3013-6.0 - Permission to Operate from Delmarva

6.1 A community energy facility shall provide the following information to Delmarva prior to receiving a permission to operate from Delmarva, pursuant to its interconnection process:

6.1.1 A description of the energy generating facility, including the facility's host location, capacity, and fuel type or generating technology; and

6.1.2 A complete interconnection application to facilitate a transmission and distribution analysis, including an evaluation of potential reliability, safety and stability impacts and determination of whether infrastructure upgrades are necessary and appropriate allocation of applicable interconnection costs.

6.2 After the community energy facility complies with subsections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, it may then seek a final certificate to operate from the Commission as set forth in Section 5.0 of this regulation.

6.3 After receiving a final certificate to operate from the Commission, the community energy facility shall submit to Delmarva:

6.3.1 A list of individual Delmarva account numbers the community energy facility desires to aggregate including the name and address associated with the account number, including which accounts serve low-income customers;

6.3.2 The subscribed percentage of generation attributed to each subscriber;

6.3.3 Certification that the subscription level of each subscriber does not exceed 110% of that subscriber's expected aggregate electrical consumption calculated, for existing buildings, on the average of the 2 previous 12-month periods of actual electrical usage at the time of subscription with the community energy facility and estimated, for new building construction, at 110% of the consumption of units with similar size and characteristics; and

6.3.4 Certification that subscribers in the community energy facility include at least 15% low-income customers. The requirement of "at least 15% low-income customers" will be measured by the number of low-income customers as a percentage of the total number of subscribers of the community energy facility.

6.4 Delmarva will consider a request to convert an existing net metering interconnection application under 26 DE Admin. Code 3012 to a community energy facility interconnection application under 26 DE Admin. Code 3013 to be a new application, which would create a new interconnection position.
