Kingsford Heights council adopts interconnection standards to allow rooftop solar
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2025-011 establishing interconnection standards to let residents tie rooftop solar to IMPA; officials said residents should act by year-end to qualify for related tax incentives.
Kingsford Heights — The town council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 2025-011 on final reading Oct. 27, adopting interconnection standards to allow residents to link rooftop solar equipment with the local power-supply agreement referenced in the meeting (transcript reference: "IMPA/INPA").
The ordinance, read by the council chair by title only, establishes the technical and metering rules needed for homeowners who want excess solar generation to flow back to the supplier. "We need this passed by the end of December," the chair said, noting some residents may be timing purchases to qualify for year-end tax benefits.
Council discussion clarified that the meter connection and monthly local fees will remain with the town while the supply and settlement for exported energy are handled under the contract with the municipal power provider as described in the meeting. A council member asked whether residents still pay their local electric meter charges; the chair confirmed the town will continue to bill meter and connection fees while settlement for exported energy will occur between the homeowner and the power agency.
The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-011 passed unanimously on its final reading. Council members asked staff to notify homeowners and the power agency about approved applications and the next steps for interconnection.
What’s next: Town staff will follow up with homeowners and the referenced power agency to implement the interconnection process and notify applicants when their systems are eligible to be tied into the grid.
