CALL OUR OFFICE THE DAY BEFORE TO SCHEDULE US TO COME AND CUT THE SERVICE LOSE AND PULL THE METER.

ONCE THE WORK IS DONE. CALL THE BUILDING INSPECTOR.

SLD Reqs

Include the project’s planned operating mode (e.g., combined heat and power, peak shaving, etc.).

Electric Service Reqs

The Customer Generator shall be capable of operating its generating equipment at a voltage level of plus/minus 6% of nominal system voltage. Utility grade negative sequence/under-voltage relaying shall be used to trip the equipment off the line for negative excursions exceeding 8.25% of nominal for a maximum duration of six electrical cycles. Positive excursions exceeding 10% of nominal voltage shall cause the equipment to trip off line. Voltage regulating equipment shall maintain stable excitation levels with negligible hunting (less than 2% of nominal phase current).

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Upson EMC before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
