Ensuring Interconnection for Project Energization

Community garden solar projects face a specific challenge at energization: the interconnection rights, agreements, and documentation must all be in place and properly recorded before the utility will allow the project to connect to the grid. Missing or deficient interconnection documentation is one of the most common causes of energization delays.

On these community solar projects, TerraPro Solutions needed to ensure that all interconnection documentation and rights were secured and in proper form before the scheduled energization date.

TerraPro Solutions reviewed all interconnection agreements, verified that crossing rights and easements were properly recorded, and confirmed that the agreements met the utility's requirements for allowing grid connection. Where gaps existed, we worked to obtain the necessary instruments and ensure they were recorded in the correct counties.

We coordinated directly with the utility and the title company to confirm that everything was in order from both a legal and technical standpoint before the energization date.

All interconnection documentation was confirmed to be in place and properly recorded. The projects energized on schedule — allowing the community solar subscribers to begin receiving the benefits of their subscriptions without delay.
