What is South Central Power Company’s interconnection process?
A member inquiry to South Central Power regarding solar interconnection will trigger the process. Member will provide limited information to South Central Power for the process, such as total inverter size and installer contact info. South Central Power will prepare an application and related documents for the member.
South Central Power will communicate and meet with member directly. No interaction between South Central Power and installers will be needed.
Member agrees with load side interconnection beyond the first means of disconnect.
Member will provide South Central Power’s instructions to their installer for interconnection fee payment, if applicable.
Installation cannot begin until documents are fully executed and interconnection fee is received. If removal of a meter is necessary during the interconnection installation, member must contact South Central Power at 800-282-5064 to schedule a temporary disconnect for the work to be performed safely.
The generating facility should not be in operation prior to the bi-directional meter installation.
After solar installation, member will self-certify that all national, state, local and other applicable electric codes were followed. Installers should provide certification documentation to the member.
South Central Power will schedule bi-directional meter installation after interconnection fee, self-certification, and previous documents are received and fully executed. Permission to Operate (PTO) is automatically granted to the member after the bi-directional meter is installed.
South Central Power has the right to perform an audit of the solar installation and related documents at any time. Installers should provide documentation to member for the member’s records.
Residential (<25 kW-AC) and non-residential (<100 kW-AC) accounts have an identical process and documents, except applicable rate schedules are used.
