FERC Rule May 'Nudge' States To Alter Distributed Solar Interconnection

The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a modification to its Small Generator Interconnection Agreements and Procedures (SGIA) rule, enabling certain appropriately located, inverter-based generators below 2 MW to qualify for "fast-track" approval procedures. Previous rules required such small generators to be between 2 MW and 5 MW to qualify for fast-track consideration.
