N.H. Admin. Code § Puc 905.06

Current through Register No. 50, December 12, 2024
Section Puc 905.06 - Studies and Analysis
(a) A distribution utility may conduct detailed load flow, voltage regulation, or short circuit coordination studies of the primary feeder if it determines that the addition of a net-metered facility will push the aggregate capacity of distributed generation on the feeder to the threshold level described in (b) and (c) below.
(b) The distribution utility may determine that the threshold of concern for aggregate distributed generation has been reached if:
(1) The lower of 7.5 percent of the peak feeder demand as measured at the substation or 20 percent of the peak feeder demand downstream of the point of interconnection is reached;
(2) More than one net-metered facility is proposed to be installed on the same secondary shared by many customers; or
(3) Any other reasonable means, consistent with (1) or (2) above, of determining that a study is necessary.
(c) The distribution utility shall determine that the threshold of concern for aggregate distributed generation has been reached, if it determines that the addition of the proposed net-metered facility poses a reasonable threat to the continued safety, reliability, or power quality to any significant portion of the electric distribution system.
