We support renewable energy and partner with our customers to ensure safe and reliable interconnection to the electric grid.

NET ENERGY METERING AND SMALL GENERATOR INTERCONNECTIONS

WE CAN HELP YOU MAKE A SAFE AND RELIABLE INTERCONNECTIONIf you’re an Atlantic City Electric customer thinking of generating your own electricity with renewable energy sources, our Green Power Connection™ process can help make it possible. Before you purchase or install renewable energy systems, it is important that you first submit an interconnection application and agreement, along with supporting documentation. Our dedicated team of account coordinators will process your application and provide you with additional guidance. When you have successfully met the requirements, we welcome the opportunity to have your energy generating system interconnect to the electric grid.

QUALIFYING RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESn Solar (photovoltaic cells or solar heating)

n Wind (turbines or windmills)

n Biomass (using plant or animal matter as fuel)

n Electric-geothermal (heat from the earth)

n Anaerobic Digestion (micro-organisms break down organic materials)

n Fuel Cells (chemical energy from a fuel)

n Hydropower (water turbines and dams)

Customer-generated electricity can offset all or part of the energy normally used from Atlantic City Electric.

Unauthorized Interconnections Are UnsafeRenewable energy systems installed or operating without written authorization from Atlantic City Electric endanger our workers, who will not have a record of the system. These systems pose a safety risk to our customers, system components, facilities and general public. They can also cause voltage overload problems on the electric grid, preventing safe and reliable electric service. We can send a cease-and-desist notification to stop generation or disconnect electric service at your home or business.

Application Checklist shown in the next section

n Thoroughly research renewable technologies that are eligible for interconnection and net energy metering

n Work closely with your contractor to ensure you understand the interconnection application process, fees and documentation

n Electricity generation fluctuates as a result of several factors – clouds, darkness and dirty panels all limit solar generation. We recommend you understand how your system will operate under varying conditions, and how these conditions can impact your Atlantic City Electric bill
