Interconnection Background

• IEEE 1547 Standard issued in June 2003
• FERC issued NOPR for the Standardization of Small
  Generator Interconnection Agreements and
  Procedure on Aug 19, 2003
• NARUC prepared a DG Interconnection Model for
  voluntary adoption by States
• PJM states (NJ, MD, DC and PA) expressed
  interest in developing a regional approach to
  interconnection
• DOE played key role in IEEE 1547 development and
  supports activities that will result in IEEE 1547
  being formally implemented

Mid-Atlantic Approach

• PJM formed Small Generation Interconnection
  Working Group in early 2004
• DOE worked with PJM and other groups to form
  Mid-Atlantic Distributed Resources Initiative
• SGIWG developed uniform standard for
  interconnection
• Identified all utility interconnection
  requirements that went beyond IEEE 1547
• Worked with utilities to eliminate most of them
• MADRI is focused on state implementation of rules
  and procedures that are favorable to DR programs
• Addressing distributed generation, CHP and demand
  reduction
