Guidelines
Distribution Point-of-delivery Interconnection Process Guidelines
These guidelines were developed to support the AESO’s redesigned interconnection processes for distribution point-of-delivery interconnections. The primary objective was to develop a set of guidelines acceptable to the stakeholder community which would enable efficiency gains within the customer interconnection process. Guideline development efforts began in September 2004 by a stakeholder committee with representatives from TFO’s, DFO’s, and the AESO. The EUB participated as an observer. General AESO stakeholder input was also solicited during the course of the development of the guidelines.
They are intended to:
-
provide for optimized solutions for new facilities supplying distribution customers; and,
-
ensure effective coordination between transmission and distribution in order to derive lowest possible cost solutions to interconnections while meeting reliability, performance and safety requirements.
They are not intended to:
-
support interconnection processes for direct connect industrial customers or generators; or,
-
facilitate decisions on the AESO’s cost allocation or investment levels.
