Relating to the interconnection and operation of large loads.
What changed between versions
New eligibility criteria requiring large loads to either have behind-the-meter generation capable of serving full load requirements or have an aggregated peak demand of more than 75 megawatts at a single site.
Large loads must bring behind-the-meter generation into service within 180 days after interconnection date or commit to flexible load status for at least 10 years.
New financial penalties for large loads approved for expedited interconnection that fail to reduce load or power load with backup generation as directed.
Program now allows studies for flexible loads to be evaluated as non-firm and counts demand reductions toward utility load shedding obligations during energy emergencies.
Added formal definitions for 'behind-the-meter generation' and 'flexible load' to clarify program requirements.
Established a 10-year minimum commitment period for flexible load status and 180-day timeline for bringing generation into service.
