The purpose of this Policy and accompanying Guidelines is to set forth common interconnection requirements and a common interconnection process, based on a common screening process, for the Utility and the Interconnection Customers to expeditiously interconnect non fossil fuelled generating facilities with a rated capacity up to and including 50kW in a safe and reliable manner.

The Utility’s aim is to allow for a maximum distributed non-fossil fuelled power penetration level of 15% of feeder/system yearly maximum demand.

The policy, and the accompanying guideline, delineates the complete procedure for interconnecting a non fossil fuel source (below 50 kW) to the grid.

A summary of the salient features:

The application procedures including the submission process, application fees, screening process etc. are described in the accompanying guideline.

In general, the small producers (less than 5kw) have an easier screening process called “Simplified Interconnection”. The process for larger generators (less than 25kW) involves more screening still larger generators (upto 50kW) require full interconnection study.

Producers have to follow applicable codes and standards including: a) safety and reliability rules set by the National Electrical Code. b) IEEE standards (IEEE 1547.1) pertaining to connecting distributed resources with electric power systems. c) All requirements set by the APUA’s interconnection procedure guideline. Moreover, the equipment used by the producer should be certified, by recognized testing laboratory.

The generators have the right to feed into the system but they must disconnect in the event of power outages or abnormal system conditions.

The producers bear the costs of any technical reviews and of any required system modifications. Moreover, the policy does not describe any feed-in-tariff payment mechanism for the power fed into the grid by the producers.The Utility’s aim, at this time, is to allow for a maximum distributed non-fossil fuelled power penetration level of fifteen percent (15%) of feeder/system yearly maximum demand.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
