Summary: <\/strong>\u00a0
\nThe Georgia Cogeneration and Distributed Generation Act of 2001 allows residential electricity customers with photovoltaic systems, wind-energy systems or fuel cells with a maximum capacity of 10 kilowatts (kW), and commercial facilities up to 100 kW, to connect to the grid. A utility is not required to enroll customers beyond 0.2% of its peak load for the previous year. \u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nInterconnected customers must comply with all national standards: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and National Electrical Safety Code (NEC). Furthermore, the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) may adopt additional safety, power-quality and interconnection requirements. There is no provision in Georgia’s interconnection standards requiring customers to install a manual external disconnect device. Utilities may not require additional tests or additional liability insurance. \u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nGeorgia Power, the state’s largest utility, has established a green-power program, whereby the power generated by eligible renewable-energy systems connected to the grid under the utility’s net-metering provisions is sold to other customers. System owners are paid for generation at a higher rate than the rate at which they would be compensated under standard net metering. \u00a0<\/p>\n
