Michigan Administrative Code › Department - Licensing and Regulatory Affairs › Public Service Commission › Production And Transmission Of Natural Gas › PRODUCTION › Section R. 460.865 - Taking of gas

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 15.
(1)
				  Maximum withdrawal:
(a) General. The maximum
				  withdrawal during any 12 months' period from any gas well shall average on a
				  daily basis not more than 17 1/2% of the current approved absolute daily open
				  flow capacity of such well, such withdrawal being the allowable maximum annual
				  withdrawal. Whenever a new open flow capacity test is made and approved by the
				  commission, such new test will, upon notice to the producer and transmitter,
				  become immediately effective in determining the maximum withdrawal. In order to
				  provide for a variable seasonable demand, the following percentages of the last
				  determined allowable maximum annual withdrawal may be taken, but not exceeded:
				  In any 6 consecutive months, 66%; in any 1 month, 12 1/2%; and in any 1 day, .6
				  of 1%.
(b) Special. The maximum
				  withdrawal from Monroe gas wells located in the Walker-Talmadge oil field shall
				  not exceed 50% of the last officially measured open flow of each such
				  well.
(c) Special. The maximum
				  withdrawal during any 12 months' period from any gas well in the Howell field
				  shall average on a daily basis not more than 25% of the current approved
				  absolute daily open flow capacity of such well, such withdrawal being the
				  allowable maximum annual withdrawal. The allowance for seasonable variation in
				  the rate of take as set forth in subrule (1)(a) shall continue to be based on
				  the annual maximum allowable withdrawal determined as 17 1/2% of the open flow,
				  unless the allowance so determined shall be less than 25% in which case the 25%
				  allowance shall prevail.
(d)
				  Special. When a dry natural gas field has been depleted to such an extent that
				  production has become merely a stripper operation, the commission may approve
				  different maximum withdrawals than required by subrule (1)(a) if it finds that
				  such different withdrawals will conserve gas and, in its opinion, support
				  commercial production for a longer period than would otherwise be the
				  case.

Michigan Administrative Code › Department - Licensing and Regulatory Affairs › Public Service Commission › Interconnection and Distributed Generation Standards › Part 2 - INTERCONNECTION STANDARDS › Section R. 460.942 - Non-export track review

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 42.
(1)
				  Interconnection applications for DERs that will not inject electric energy into
				  an electric utility's distribution system are eligible for evaluation under the
				  non-export track. Non-export eligibility requires an existing electrical
				  service at the applicant's premise.
(2) Subject to review and approval by the
				  commission, an electric utility may limit the eligibility of the non-export
				  track in its interconnection procedures based on the characteristics of its
				  distribution system.
(3) Before
				  submitting an interconnection application, a non-export track applicant may
				  contact the electric utility for reasonable assistance in determining whether a
				  non-export track review will be sufficient or the study track is necessary. The
				  electric utility shall provide the applicant assistance based on available
				  information. If the applicant chooses to proceed, an interconnection
				  application shall be submitted pursuant to
				  R 460.936.
(4) Within 20 business days after being
				  notified that the application was accepted, the electric utility shall perform
				  an initial review by using some or all of the initial review screens specified
				  in the electric utility's interconnection procedures pursuant to
				  R 460.946 and notify the applicant of
				  the results. If an electric utility chooses to perform a review using a subset
				  of the initial review screens, the exclusion of 1 or more screens may not be
				  the only basis for the electric utility to require further study.
(5) If the proposed interconnection passes
				  the initial review screens, or if the proposed interconnection fails the
				  screens but the electric utility determines that the DER may be interconnected
				  consistent with safety, reliability, and power quality standards, the electric
				  utility shall notify the applicant as follows:
(a) If the notification indicates that no
				  interconnection facilities, distribution upgrades, further study, or
				  application modifications are required, the electric utility shall provide
				  specifications for any equipment the applicant is required to install within 20
				  business days after the applicant being notified. Within 10 business days after
				  receiving the equipment specifications, the applicant shall notify the electric
				  utility whether the applicant will proceed under
				  R 460.964 to an interconnection
				  agreement or will withdraw the application. The applicant's failure to notify
				  the electric utility within the required time period shall result in the
				  interconnection application being withdrawn by the electric utility.
(b) If a facilities study is required, the
				  interconnection application must proceed under
				  R 460.962.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 44.
(1) Level
				  1, level 2, level 3, level 4 applications, and level 5 applications as large as
				  5 MWac in which the DER is not proposing to interconnect with the electric
				  utility's high voltage distribution system are eligible for the fast track.
				  Level 5 applications proposing to interconnect to a utility's distribution
				  system at 4.8 kV or less are not eligible for the fast track. Projects using an
				  acceptable method for limited export are eligible for fast track.
(2) An applicant that is eligible for the
				  fast track may forgo the fast track and proceed directly to the study
				  track.
(3) An applicant with an
				  application that is outside the limitations specified in subrule (1) of this
				  rule may petition the electric utility to have its application evaluated under
				  fast track. The electric utility may approve or reject this request at its
				  discretion.
(4) In determining fast
				  track eligibility, an electric utility may aggregate all proposed new
				  generation on a site regardless of the existence of a shared point of common
				  coupling or multiple points of common coupling.

(1) Upon
				  an applicant's request, the electric utility and the applicant shall schedule a
				  customer options meeting between the electric utility and the applicant to
				  review possible facility modifications, screen analysis, and related results to
				  determine what further steps are needed to permit the DER to be connected
				  safely and reliably to the distribution system. The customer options meeting
				  must take place within 30 business days of the date of notification pursuant to
				  R
				  460.946(7).
(2) At the customer options meeting, the
				  electric utility shall offer all of the following options:
(a) Proceed to a supplemental review pursuant
				  to R 460.950.
(b) Continue evaluating the interconnection
				  application under the study track pursuant to
				  R 460.952.
(c) Submit within 60 business days from the
				  date of the customer options meeting, with up to 2 submissions during this time
				  period, a complete and conforming revised interconnection application that
				  includes application modifications offered or required by the electric utility,
				  which mitigates or eliminates the factors that caused the interconnection
				  application to fail 1 or more of the initial review screens. After each
				  submission of information, the electric utility has 10 business days to notify
				  the applicant that the interconnection application is either accepted or
				  rejected due to continuing deficiencies. If the applicant does not meet the
				  timelines required by this subrule, the electric utility may withdraw the
				  application. After the electric utility accepts the revised interconnection
				  application, it must proceed under
				  R
				  460.946(4).
(d) Withdraw the interconnection
				  application.

(1) An
				  electric utility that is evaluating DERs in the study track individually shall
				  process the interconnection applications in the order in which the applications
				  were placed into the study track, taking into account withdrawn interconnection
				  applications and electrically remote DERs. An electrically remote DER in an
				  individual study may be studied on an expedited schedule relative to
				  electrically coincident DERs. Electrically remote DERs must be studied in the
				  order the interconnection applications were considered complete.
(2) When an interconnection application is
				  delayed due to an affected system issue, informal mediation pursuant to
				  R 460.904, formal mediation pursuant
				  to R 460.906, or a complaint pursuant to
				  R 792.10439 to
				  R 792.10446, other interconnection
				  applications that were placed into the study track on a later date may progress
				  in the order in which the interconnection applications were placed into the
				  study track.
(3) An individual
				  study process must consist of a system impact study pursuant to
				  R 460.960 and a facilities study
				  pursuant to R 460.962. An electric utility may
				  waive 1 or both studies for a particular interconnection application. An
				  electric utility may specify additional studies it may perform on an
				  interconnection application in its interconnection procedures, provided the
				  electric utility is able to meet all applicable timelines associated with an
				  individual study process.
