Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Illinois Large Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection
				Standard applies to any distributed energy resources (DER) facility operated in
				parallel with an electric public utility distribution company in Illinois and whose
				nameplate capacity is greater than 10 megavolt amperes (MVA) (a large DER facility),
				provided that the electric distribution system facilities to which the DER facility
				is proposed to interconnect are not subject to the jurisdiction or interconnection
				requirements of either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the
				applicable Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) (either Midwest Independent
				Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO) or PJM Interconnection, LLC
				(PJM)).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Commission, on
			 application or petition of an EDC, DER applicant or customer, or on its own motion,
			 may grant a temporary or permanent waiver from this Part, or any Section or
			 subsection of this Part, in individual cases in which the Commission finds that:
1) the provision from which the waiver is granted
			 is not statutorily mandated;
2) there is
			 good cause for the waiver, and it is in the public interest; and
3) the rule from which the waiver is granted
			 would, as applied to the particular case, be unreasonable or unnecessarily
			 burdensome.

			 request.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 83 - PUBLIC UTILITIES › Part 467 - ELECTRIC INTERCONNECTION OF LARGE DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES FACILITIES › Section 467.50 - Interconnection Request Review

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Applicants
			 seeking to interconnect a DER facility, or to revise a DER facility that has already
			 been interconnected, shall submit an interconnection request to the EDC that owns
			 the electric distribution system to which interconnection is sought. Applicants
			 shall use interconnection request forms approved by the Commission. The EDC may
			 require additional information from the Applicant if the EDC can demonstrate that
			 the additional information is necessary in order for the EDC to conduct its review
			 under this Part.
b) The application fee
			 is specified in the interconnection application form (see Appendix B).
c) Interconnection requests may be submitted
			 electronically.
d) If the timelines
			 provided in this Part cannot be met due to the unique characteristics of the
			 proposed facility, parties shall negotiate timelines that differ from those
			 established in this Part. Alternative timelines may be needed to account for project
			 complexities, personnel requirements or other outside factors regarding a particular
			 project. If a mutual agreement is not reached, parties may use the dispute
			 resolution procedures in Section
			 467.80.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 83 - PUBLIC UTILITIES › Part 467 - ELECTRIC INTERCONNECTION OF LARGE DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES FACILITIES › Section 467.70 - Interconnection Review Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
			 applicant shall submit an interconnection request using Appendix B, along with the
			 application fee specified in Appendix B.
b) Within 10 business days after receipt of an
			 interconnection request, the EDC shall notify the applicant whether the request is
			 complete. When the interconnection request is not complete, the EDC shall provide
			 the applicant with a written list detailing the information required to complete the
			 interconnection request. When additional information is required and reasonable, the
			 applicant and the EDC shall agree on a schedule to provide the required information
			 or the interconnection request is considered withdrawn. The parties may agree to
			 extend the time for receipt of the additional information. The interconnection
			 request is deemed complete when the applicant has provided the required information
			 or the parties have agreed that the applicant may provide additional information
			 later.
c) The queue position of an
			 interconnection request is used to determine the cost responsibility for the system
			 upgrades and interconnection facilities necessary to accommodate the
			 interconnection. The EDC shall notify the applicant as to its queue position.
1) If the applicant amends the interconnection
			 request in a manner requiring that the EDC re-study the feasibility or impact of the
			 interconnection, the interconnection request shall receive a new queue position
			 based on the date that it was amended.
2) If an EDC determines that other interconnection
			 requests may affect the same facilities on its electric distribution system or
			 transmission system as the DER facility either proposed or being revised in an
			 applicant's interconnection request, the EDC may study these requests together
			 without regard to their queue position. If an EDC considers interconnection requests
			 together because they both affect the same facilities on the electric distribution
			 system or on transmission networks, the EDC shall notify the applicant of that fact
			 at the time studies are initiated. If the EDC considers two or more interconnection
			 requests together, estimated costs allocated to each applicant shall not exceed the
			 estimated cost associated with the interconnection request had the EDC reviewed the
			 interconnection requests in sequence.
