<strong>35</strong> <strong>kV</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Below</strong> Interconnection Requirements for Power Generators<br />
F.1 Requirements for “Declaration of Compatibility – Load”<br />
The compatibility of load describes conditions that must be satisfied before the PG’s facility can be connected to<br />
receive electricity from <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> <strong>and</strong> usually occurs during construction.<br />
Generator:<br />
Project:<br />
Declaration of Compatibility, Load, Generator’s Facilities<br />
The Generator shall design, construct, own, <strong>and</strong> maintain the Customer’s Facilities.<br />
Interconnection Yes No<br />
1. Executed Interconnection Agreement<br />
2. <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> has reviewed the Generator’s proposed facilities to confirm compliance with <strong>BC</strong><br />
<strong>Hydro</strong>’s technical requirements for operation as a load.<br />
