An Arizona Public Service proposal to revise its interconnection process should be rejected, partly because it fails to follow the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s just-issued rule on grid interconnection, according to RWE Clean Energy and renewable energy trade groups.
In mid-July, APS proposed shifting to a first-ready, first-served cluster study process from a first-come, first-served process that reviews interconnection requests one-by-one. The approach is broadly similar to FERC’s grid interconnection Order 2023 rule issued late last month.
