Notes:

1. Connecting customer generation equipment to the Benton PUD (SPUD) distribution system requires completion of a Net
Metering Application and signing of a Net Metering Interconnection Agreement.

2. This standard represents a typical arrangement for a net metering installation. The details shown are not intended to
depict Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) requirements. L&l approval of installation is required
prior to customer receiving approval from SPUD for final interconnection of generator to the SPUD distribution system .
Customer shall provide SPUD with a copy of the documentation of L&l approval.
~

@ 3. Customer's must provide a one-line electrical schematic drawing to SPUD which is specific to the proposed installation.

J"' 4. SPUD does not require a utility disconnect switch for customer generation equipment utilizing Underwriter's Laboratory
(UL) 1741 listed inverter equipment. Contact the SPUD engineering department for review and approval of other
interconnection methods.

5. Upon receiving L&l approval, SPUD will complete a field inspection of the customer's net metering installation. Approved
installations will be documented by SPUD's completion of a Generating Facility Certificate of Completion . This certificate
represents the customer's authorization to energize their generation equipment and interconnect their net metering
installation to the SPUD distribution system.

6. All SPUD meters are remotely read and controllable via radio signals. In addition, 200 amp meters are equipped with
remote disconnect and re-connect capabilities. To enable this feature , the meter socket for the AC Production meter
must be oriented as described above. SPUD meters will generate an alarm when a power outage occurs or power is
disconnected from the AC Production meter or Main Service Net meter. Customers should plan their generator
maintenance activities to avoid unnecessary power outage reports from the AC Production meter.

7. Main electric service (Net Meter) and AC Production meter bases shall be labeled with engraved phenolic placards; 3/8"
white capitalized lettering on a red background as described above.
