Rule 199-15.7 - Additional services to be provided to qualifying facilities and AEP facilities by rate-regulated electric utilities

For purposes of this rule, "electric utility" or "utility" means a rate-regulated electric utility.

(1) Upon request of qualifying facilities and AEP facilities, each electric utility shall provide supplementary power, backup, maintenance power, and interruptible power. Rates for such service shall meet the requirements of subrule 15.5(6), and shall be in accordance with the terms of the utility's tariff.

The commission may waive this requirement pursuant to rule 199-1.3 (17A,474) only after notice in the area served by the utility and an opportunity for public comment. The waiver may be granted if compliance with this rule will:

a. Impair the electric utility's ability to render adequate service to its customers, or

b. Place an undue burden on the electric utility.

(2) Reserved.
