Summary

This guideline is primarily intended to provide an overview of the application process involved in becoming a distributed generator. If a prospective power plant owner plans to generate electric energy and the power plant capacity rating is less than one MW, the applicant may proceed without filing an application with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) if the following three requirements are met: ? No person is directly and adversely affected. ? The power plant complies with AUC Rule 012: Noise Control (AUC Rule 012). ? There is no effect on the environment.

Summary

Third parties must use certified equipment (both behind the meter and on the distribution grid) when attempting to interconnect new components to the grid. Certified equipment is equipment that has passed through rigorous certification testing procedures done by Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs); UL is one such example. NRTLs create testing procedures for equipment that verify equipment functionality and safety to pre-set testing standards created by nationally recognized engineering groups such as IEEE.
