ILLINOIS COMMERCE COMMISSION
NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULES
require the applicant to immediately disconnect its distribution
generation facility to accommodate the higher-queued customer.
E) The parties shall use an interconnection facilities study agreement
as approved by the Commission unless both parties agree to use an
alternative form.
f) When an EDC determines that it is appropriate to interconnect the distributed
generation facility, the EDC shall provide the applicant with a standard distributed
generation interconnection agreement. If the interconnection request is denied, the
EDC shall provide the applicant with a written explanation as to its reasons for
denying interconnection. If the EDC's written explanation demonstrates that the
interconnection request was denied for valid reasons, the interconnection request
does not retain its queue position.
g) Within 30 business days after receipt of the standard distributed generation
interconnection agreement, the applicant shall provide all necessary information
required of the applicant by the agreement. The EDC shall develop all other
information required of the EDC by the agreement. After completing the
Agreement, the applicant shall sign and return the agreement to the EDC. If the
applicant does not sign and return the agreement within 30 business days after its
completion, the interconnection request shall be deemed withdrawn, unless the
applicant requests in writing to have the deadline extended by no more than 15
business days. The initial request for extension may not be denied by the EDC. If
the applicant does not sign the agreement after the 15 business day extension, the
interconnection request shall be deemed withdrawn unless a further extension is
agreed to by the parties. If withdrawn, the interconnection request does not retain
its queue position. When construction is required, the interconnection of the
distributed generation facility shall proceed according to milestones agreed to by
the parties in the distributed generation interconnection agreement.
h) The distributed generation interconnection agreement is not final until:
1) The requirements of the interconnection agreement are satisfied; and
2) The distributed generation facility is approved by any electric code
officials with jurisdiction over the interconnection; and
