Distributed Energy Interconnection Checklist
This FEMP checklist guides project managers through the process of interconnecting distributed energy systems such as solar, wind, or storage to utility grids. It covers technical requirements, application procedures, engineering studies, permitting, utility coordination, and commissioning. The checklist helps ensure that interconnection projects meet safety and reliability standards and comply with regulatory requirements. It is a practical tool for federal agencies and other organizations planning distributed generation installations.
