What steps do I take to interconnect a Distributed Generation (DG) facility?

  • Review the new Distributed Generation Interconnection policy and forms that can be found on our Yampa Valley Electric Association Website.
  • Fill out the Interconnection Application and return to YVEA Engineering to begin the process
  • Provide information about the location, components of the system, system one-line, and any other relevant documents as specified in the application
  • Submit documents to YVEA separately from the county approval process and preferably before you begin the county process
  • Begin construction once YVEA Engineering approval is granted, as well as county approval if necessary
  • After construction is complete, submit the Interconnection Agreement and contact YVEA Engineering for system inspection/test/meter exchange
  • Net metering begins once the test is completed and the meter exchanged
