SIGNATURE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

For myself and/or with authority/permission of the entity named herein, I state the following:

  • I have read, understand and agree to all provisions, terms and conditions set forth in Eastern Illini Electric Cooperative Regulation No 27 - Interconnection and Parallel Operation of Distributed Generation.
  • I desire to interconnect electric generating equipment to the low-voltage premises wiring at the applicable premises or facility. I desire to undertake Parallel Operation of such generating equipment with the electric system of the Cooperative as defined in Regulation No 27.
  • I agree the Cooperative will evaluate and analyze the impact the proposed electric generation equipment may have on (i) the operations of Cooperative electric system and (ii) the quality of electric service provided to the Member of the Cooperative. The Cooperative has identified the fee associated with this application, which includes the costs of basic design evaluation to be $500.00.
  • I understand the basic design evaluation may reveal the requirement for a detailed design evaluation, may require an upgrade to Cooperative infrastructure in order to maintain an adequate quality of electrical service to any and all Cooperative members, or may impact a third-party utility in such a manner that such utility requires further studies and/or upgrades. I understand that to proceed with the interconnection application process and prior to interconnection, I am responsible for such additional fees and/or costs, pursuant to Regulation No 27.
  • I understand that the $500 application fee is non-refundable, regardless of the basic design application results, or if I decide to discontinue with the interconnection.
  • I agree not to undertake Parallel Operation of any generating equipment on the low-voltage premises wiring at my property without the "Authorization to Energize" executed by the Cooperative. I further agree to allow the Cooperative to share pertinent interconnection information with the contracted installer of such renewable energy system.
