The Distributed Generation Interconnection Agreement (the “Agreement”), is made and entered
in to this _________________ (day) of ___________________ (month), _________________
( year) by and between _________________________________ hereinafter called “DISCO”
and _______________________ hereinafter called the “Applicant”. Applicant shall be 3 phase
400V or 11kV DISCO’s consumer. DISCO and the Applicant are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.
Recitals
B. Applicant desires to install a Distributed Generator (DG) facility or energy storage device
using solar or wind energy resources with a capacity greater than 1 KW but no more than 1
MW, including related interconnection equipment (the “DG Facility”) and to interconnect
the DG Facility to the DISCO’s distribution system.
Agreement
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and for good and valuable
consideration, the DISCO and Applicant agree as follows:
1. Design Requirement
The DG Facility shall be installed in compliance with NEPRA ARE Distributed Generation/ Net
Metering Rules 2014.
2. Applicant’s Representations and Warranties
The DISCO may require that the Applicant furnish and install an interconnection disconnect
switch that opens, with a visual break, all underground poles of the interconnection circuit. The
interconnection disconnect switch shall be rated for the voltage and fault current requirements of
the DG Facility, and shall meet all applicable IEC, IEEE Standards, as well as applicable
requirements of the NEPRA Grid Code. The switch enclosure shall be properly grounded. The
interconnection disconnect switch shall be accessible at all times, located for ease of access of
DISCO personnel, and shall be capable of being locked in the open position. The Applicant
shall follow the DISCO’s recommended switching, clearance, tagging, and locking procedures.
Applicant shall notify DISCO of plans for any material modification to the DG Facility by
providing at least forty working days of advance notice. “Material Modification” is defined as
any modification that changes the maximum electrical output of the DG Facility or changes the
interconnection equipment. The notification shall consist of a completed, revised Application
and such supporting materials as may be reasonably requested by DISCO. Applicant agrees not
to commence installation of any material modification to the DG Facility until DISCO has
approved the revised Application.
5.2 Each party as indeminitor shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the other party and
the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the other party against and from any and all
loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, charge, demand, or expense (including any direct, indirect or
consequential loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, charge, demand, or expense, including
attorneys’ fees) for injury or death to persons, including employees of either party, and damage
to property, including property of either party, arising out of or in connection with (a) the
engineering, design, construction, maintenance, repair, operation, supervision, inspection,
testing, protection or ownership of the indeminitor’s facilities, or (b) the making of
replacements, additions, betterments to, or reconstruction of the indeminitor’s facilities. This
indemnity shall apply notwithstanding the active or passive negligence of the indeminitee.
However, neither party shall be indemnified hereunder for its loss, liability, damage, claim, cost,
charge, demand, or expense resulting from its sole negligence or willful misconduct.
5.3 The indeminitor shall, on the other party’s request, defend any suit asserting a claim
covered by this indemnity and shall pay for all costs, including reasonable attorney fees, that
may be incurred by the other party in enforcing this indemnity.
5.4 The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to relieve any insurer of its
obligations to pay any insurance claims in accordance with the provisions of any valid insurance
policy.
5.5 Except as otherwise provided in this section, neither party shall be liable to the other
party for consequential or remote damages incurred by that party.
Applicant shall notify DISCO in writing that installation of DG Facility is complete and that the
interconnection equipment is available for testing by DISCO at least fifteen working days duly
certified by Electrical Inspector before Applicant interconnects the DG Facility with DISCO’s
Distribution System. DISCO shall thereupon have the right to test the DG Facility.
DISCO shall also have the right to witness any testing by Applicant of the DG Facility. Any
DISCO testing of the DG Facility shall be completed within ten working days. After the testing
which is to the satisfaction of both parties, the DG facility may be interconnected with the
distribution system of DISCO to be witnessed by representatives of both parties within thirty
eight days.
7. Access to DG Facility
Applicant shall permit DISCO’s employees and agents to enter the property on which the DG
Facility is located at any reasonable time for the purposes of inspecting and/or testing
Applicant’s DG Facility to ensure its continued safe and satisfactory operation and the accuracy
of DISCO meters. Such inspections shall not relieve Applicant from its obligation to maintain
the DG Facility and any related equipment owned by Applicant in safe and satisfactory
operating conditions. DISCO shall have the right to witness any testing by Applicant of the DG
Facility.
DISCO may limit the operation and/or disconnect or require the disconnection of a DG facility
from DISCO’s Distribution System at any time, with or without notice, in the event of fault.
DISCO may also limit the operation and/or disconnect or require the disconnection of DG
facility from DISCO’s Distribution System upon the provision of 30 days written notice for the
conditions to allow for routine maintenance repairs or modifications to DISCO’s Distribution
System:
Nothing in this agreement prevents Applicant from filing a petition with the Authority to appeal
any requirement imposed by DISCO as a condition to interconnection of DG Facility, that
applicant alleges is unreasonable. In case of a dispute, the decision of the Authority shall be
final and binding on both the parties.
The term of Agreement between Distributed Generator and DISCO shall be three years with
effect from the date of commissioning of DG facility. At the expiry of initial term, the
Agreement may be automatically renewed by the mutual understanding between Distributed
Generator and DISCO for another term of three years and so on.
a. DISCO may limit the operation and/or disconnect or require the disconnection of a DG
facility from DISCO’s Distribution System at any time, with or without notice, in the event
of fault. DISCO may also limit the operation and/or disconnect or require the
disconnection of DG facility from DISCO’s Distribution System upon the provision of 30
days written notice for the conditions which including as follows:
- To allow for routine maintenance, repairs or modifications to DISCO’s Distribution
System;
- Upon DISCO’s determination that DG facility is not in compliance with these Rules;
- Upon termination of the Agreement.
b. This Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the sub rule (7) of Rule 4 of these
Rules.
c. The Distributed Generator may terminate the agreement upon thirty days written notice
if
