In the case of renewable energy systems interconnected to PREPA’s grid, the net meter shall be installed by PREPA at the base of the meter already existing at the time the interconnection request is made. The Electric Power Authority shall not, whether by regulations, technical order, governing body directive or any other means, establish additional requirements, deny a request or endorsement, or request the relocation of the base of the existing meter, unless the current location of the meter fails to meet the security standards established by the National Energy Code in effect. However, the meter must be placed at an easily accessible location, otherwise, the customer shall be required to allow PREPA’s staff access thereto, as required by PREPA and upon coordination.
Any installations of this sort shall include an automatic distribution line flow disconnection mechanism, in the event of an interruption of service of the Electric Power Authority.
