Authorization

Consent(Required)

This application is considered complete when it provides all applicable and correct information required below. Inaccurate information will delay approval and could result in higher interconnection costs. The required Application for Interconnection fee must be paid by check, payable to Clarksville Department of Electricity, before the application can be reviewed. All application fees are listed in CDE operating policy 2-5. If a system interconnection study or CDE distribution system modifications are deemed necessary for interconnection after review of this application, then additional charges may be assessed to the applicant before the applicant can continue the interconnection process.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM
Provide manufacturer’s specification sheets for the proposed system components to show testing and listing by a Nationally Recognized Laboratory for compliance with the codes and standards outlined in the CDE Distributed Generation Interconnection Procedures. In addition, attach a detailed one-line diagram of the proposed facility, all
applicable elementary diagrams, major equipment including: number and location of PV panels, wind turbines,
generators, transformers, inverters, AC disconnect switch, circuit breakers, protective relays, batteries and any other components that represent the balance of the system, plus location of existing CDE electric billing meter (unless DPP or Self-Generation where site does not have electric service) and proposed point of interconnection. Include manufacturer’s specifications, test reports and any other applicable drawings or documents necessary for the proper design of the interconnection.

PERMISSION TO INTERCONNECT
Installer must leave AC disconnect in the “off” position to prevent unauthorized generation prior to CDE’s System Acceptance Test. Customer must not operate their generating facility until they receive written authorization from CDE via a CDE-executed Distributed Generation System Acceptance Form. The System Acceptance Form can only be issued after all Code inspections, CDE meter installation, and CDE System Acceptance Test have been completed. Unauthorized parallel operation could result in injury to persons and/or damage to equipment and/or property for which the customer may be liable. NOTE: If the initial commissioning test performed by CDE or TVA personnel does not pass requirements, installer may be subject to additional fees to cover a follow-up inspection.

I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the information provided in this application is true. I understand that the generation system cannot be operated in parallel with CDE’s system until I have received written approval from CDE. I understand this project cannot begin technical review until I have paid the application fee. I understand that I may incur CDE interconnection costs, which will be calculated and quoted to me based on this application and which must be paid before CDE interconnection work can begin. I understand that submitting this document does not obligate me to proceed with the project.
