| Abstract: | This page of the IREC web site serves as an information clearinghouse on interconnection and net-metering issues. In 2009, the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) released updates for its highly respected and influential rules and procedures for interconnecting and net metering distributed generation. IREC first developed its model net metering rules in 2003 and developed its model interconnection procedures in 2005. Since that time, the solar photovoltaics market has nearly tripled and there has been significant market growth for renewable distributed generation as a whole. To facilitate that growth, many states have adopted net metering and interconnection policies and many others have revisited and expanded their existing policies to incorporate lessons learned from facilitating increased penetrations of distributed generation. IREC's model rule updates capture these evolved best practices and compile them into a template regulators and utilities can use as a starting point when drafting local rules. | |||||||||||||||||
