Safety is important when connecting to the electric grid, whether it is through solar equipment or a wind turbine. For your protection and that of GVEC linemen, members are required to sign the GVEC Interconnection Agreement in order to sell GVEC any excess electricity produced by their renewable systems.

Newly Installed Renewable Systems


If you are a homeowner who has installed a brand new renewable system or a renewable contractor submitting on behalf of a GVEC member, follow these instructions:

  1. Download and fill out the Interconnection Agreement below.
  2. Email the filled out Interconnection Agreement and Wire Diagram to interconnection@gvec.org.

After your documents are received and reviewed by a GVEC engineer, a service order to install a monitoring meter at the location will be created. This meter, as well as a rate change to a “renewable rate” will allow the member to take advantage of selling back any electricity overproduction to GVEC.

Please allow 1 billing cycle for the meter change and renewable rate to take effect.

Taking Over Existing Renewable Systems


If you are a member taking ownership at a location that already has a renewable power system installed, a new Interconnection Agreement will need to be filled out and submitted. Follow the instructions below.

  1. Download and fill out the Interconnection Agreement below.
  2. Email the filled out Interconnection Agreement to interconnection@gvec.org.

If the homeowner does not submit an updated Interconnection Agreement at the time of taking over service, the account will automatically revert to a non-renewable rate (which does not allow the member to sell excess electricity to GVEC) until a completed agreement is received.

Please allow 1 billing cycle for the renewable rate to take effect.
