Board authorizes expanded PSE interconnection study for behind-the-meter generation
Summary
The Board authorized Power System Engineering to complete a revised Phase 2 interconnection analysis for up to $30,000 and empowered staff to proceed with Phase 3 for up to $15,000, keeping total study spending (including completed Phase 1) under $71,622.
Electrical Transmission & Distribution Manager Coots updated the board on the behind-the-meter generator (BTMG) interconnection study and recommended PSE complete a detailed Phase 2 evaluation focused on accommodating 50 MW of generation and identifying required capital improvements. Phase 2 is estimated at $20,000–$30,000 and Phase 3 at $10,000–$15,000.
The board authorized the revised Phase 2 scope for an amount not to exceed $30,000 and delegated authority to staff to proceed with Phase 3 for up to $15,000 if staff determine the additional analysis is warranted; combined with completed Phase 1 work ($26,622), total study expenditures will not exceed $71,622, below the $88,000 budget identified in April.
