ACC approves new draft interconnection rules
  • At their Jan. 16 meeting, Commissioners preliminarily approved a set of rules that could help link renewables and batteries to the grid, making it easier for customers across the state to utilize clean energy.
  • The new rules will set standards for interconnection of distributed generating systems, as well as provide provisions for home battery storage systems.
  • The draft rules are expected to be considered for formal approval within the next few months.
  • The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is expected to be published in the Arizona Administrative Register on February 15, 2019. Once it is filed, a formal public comment period will be held. During this period, the Commission will accept written comments filed into the docket.
  • The Commission will hear oral comments on March 28 in Tucson and March 29 in Phoenix. Stay tuned to our blog for details on locations and times.
