An EDC shall review interconnection requests using one or more of the following four review procedures:
(1) An EDC shall use Level 1 procedures for evaluation of all interconnection requests to connect inverter-based small generation facilities when:
(i) The small generator facility has an electric nameplate capacity of 10 kW or less.
(ii) The customer interconnection equipment proposed for the small generator facility is certified.
(2) An EDC shall use Level 2 procedures for evaluating interconnection requests to connect small generation facilities when:
(i) The small generator facility uses an inverter for interconnection.
(ii) The electric nameplate capacity rating is 2 MW or less.
(iii) The customer interconnection equipment proposed for the small generator facility is certified.
(iv) The proposed interconnection is to a radial distribution circuit, or a spot network limited to serving one customer.
(v) The small generator facility was reviewed under Level 1 review procedures but not approved.
(3) An EDC shall use Level 3 review procedures for evaluating interconnection requests to connect small generation facilities with an electric nameplate capacity of 2 MW or less which do not qualify under Level 1 or Level 2 interconnection review procedures or which have been reviewed under Level 1 or Level 2 review procedures, but have not been approved for interconnection.
(4) Interconnection customers that do not qualify for Level 1 or Level 2 review and do not export power beyond the point of common coupling may request to be evaluated under Level 4 review procedures which provide for a potentially expedited review process.
