It is recommended you first visit independent resources to become educated on the technologies, process, and marketplace offerings. Good sources of information include, but are not limited to, NYSERDA - https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/ NYSERDA – Solar Electric Program (NY Sun) NYSERDA – NY-Sun Guidebook for Local Governments NG Website - NY-National Grid Distributed Generation Website NG Distributed Generation - NY - DistributedGenerationServices- NY@nationalgrid.com Call National Grid Consultants (contact numbers listed at end of presentation). We also recommend you consult with an electrical engineer or DG contractor to help you decide what option is best for your situation. Electricity can be a hazardous product if not properly installed and maintained.

Installing DG is not a simple process but we are here to help make it as simple as possible. Our paramount concern is for the safety of the public and our employees and for the reliability and power quality of the system that everyone depends on. As such, there is formal process everyone must follow. National Grid strongly believes that promoting the installation of Distributed Generation (DG), in accordance with the New York State Standardized Interconnection Requirements (“The NY SIR” or “SIR”), is sound public policy.

Net Metering – In a conventional net metering situation, a customer-sited DG energy system is connected to the utility grid through a customer’s utility meter. At any given moment, if the site is using more electricity than the system is producing, all the electricity produced by the system is used on-site and the site’s electricity needs are supplemented from the grid. If the site is using less electricity than the system is producing, the excess electricity is exported to the grid and the customer receives a credit. The electricity is monitored by a meter that measures both import and export of power. Credits are calculated by multiplying net energy received times certain components
Rules and terms vary by project size, billing rate, fuel/technology, etc. Most renewable sources, including solar, wind and farm waste, are eligible. Rules slightly different for cogeneration systems (CHP)
21
Similar to Net Metering except that it allows certain types of customers the
account to eligible other accounts (aka satellite accounts). The satellite account must be designated as premises owned or leased by the host account Customer-Generator and in the same name in the Company’s billing system as the host account Customer-Generator. Both the satellite account and the host account Customer-Generator must be within the same Company’s service territory and load zone to which the Customer-Generator’s net energy meters are interconnected. Please visit our website for more detailed information on net metering at: NY-National Grid Distributed Generation Website

Single entity (including the generating facility developer), an ESCo, a municipal entity (e.g., town or village), a for-profit business or a not-for-profit corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership, or some other form of business or civic

▪ A 2016 PSC mandate for NY Utilities to develop an online application portal system ▪ DG stakeholders want more visibility on their projects as they go through the interconnection process ▪ PSC/DG stakeholders would like all or most of the interconnection process fully automated including technical screens, creation of work requests, online payment option, engineering reviews, etc. but automation will take time Pilot Launched May 1st 2017 All in-progress application data was moved to “The Portal”. The previous data sources are ready-only. Automated status notification to application owners (developers) will begin
