level of about 19% to 25% by the year 2013. Two approaches were identified to achieve<br />
that goal: a central procurement approach that would provide for increases to about 24%<br />
and a voluntary green market approach that would provide at least the other 1%.<br />
Two tiers of eligible resources have been established. The first or "Main Tier" consists<br />
primarily of medium to large-scale electric generation facilities, and the second or<br />
"Customer-Sited Tier" consists of "behind-the-meter" facilities that are not generally<br />
economically competitive with the Main Tier technologies. Eligible resources in the Main<br />
Tier include biogas, biomass, liquid biofuel, fuel cells, hydroelectric, photovoltaics, ocean<br />
or tidal power, and wind. Eligibility in the Customer-Sited Tier includes fuel cells,<br />
photovoltaics, and wind resources.<br />

Interconnection Standards<br />
www.dps.state.ny.us/distgen.htm<br />
New York has developed standardized interconnection requirements for new distributed<br />
generators, 2 MW or less, to connect in parallel with utility distribution systems. The<br />
rules apply to New York's six investor-owned local electric utilities. Simplified application<br />
procedures are available for single phase attachment of parallel generation equipment to<br />
the electric system (15 kW or smaller). Certified interconnection equipment includes<br />
Plug Power’s 6.5 kW, 240V Single Phase <strong>Fuel</strong> Cell Inverter.<br />
