Interconnection rule

KRS 278.465-278.468; PSC 'Interconnection and Net Metering Guidelines - Kentucky' (Appendix A, Order of 2009-01-08, Administrative Case No. 2008-00169) – Interconnection and Net Metering Guidelines - Kentucky · source

Applies to

All retail electric suppliers (KRS 278.465-278.468): investor-owned utilities (KU, LG&E, Kentucky Power, Duke Energy Kentucky) and PSC-regulated rural electric cooperatives. 'Retail electric supplier' excludes municipal corporations (KRS 278.010(4)), so municipal utilities are not covered.

Application form

Utility-specific 'Application for Interconnection and Net Metering' (Level 1 / Level 2) filed with tariff, following the PSC guideline template; must be posted on utility website; mail or in-person submission must be accepted

Timelines

Level 1: decision within 20 business days; Level 2: 30 business days of a complete application (incomplete-information time added). If inspection/witness test required, customer notifies within 3 business days of completion and test occurs within 10 business days of completion.

Fees

Level 1: none. Level 2: up to $100 application/inspection/processing fee; reasonable impact study costs up to $1,000.

Insurance

Customer must maintain general liability insurance (homeowner's, commercial or other policy) for Level 1 and Level 2; proof on request at application.

External disconnect

Where required by the utility, visible-break lockable external disconnect switch adjacent to the meter (or location labeled on meter), accessible to utility at all times; utility may waive case-by-case.

Export compensation

Net billing – KRS 278.465-278.466 (2019 SB 100)
Systems <=45 kW. Exports compensated at a rate set by the PSC in each supplier's rate case, as dollar bill credits carried forward (no cash refund). Systems in service before the supplier's first post-2020 NM order keep 1:1 kWh netting for 25 years. Supplier obligation may end at 1% of single-hour peak. PSC guidelines template still shows original 30 kW limit; statute now 45 kW.

Not bound by the rule

Cooperatives are covered. Municipal utilities (mostly TVA distributors) are excluded from 'retail electric supplier' and follow their own/TVA policies.
