Plans & docs

Site Plan Reqs

** The disconnect switch, and REC meter if installed, must be located within 10 feet of the net meter.

SLD Reqs

**REC (if applied and paid for) - Disco - MSP**


* A disconnect switch, accessible to City personnel at all times, must be installed as shown in Figures 1 and 2. It must be an appropriately rated load-break switch that can, from outside its enclosure, be checked for open/closed status, be operated, and be padlocked in the open position.

* The City will replace the standard electric revenue meter with a net meter without charge if the existing meter equipment and location meet current codes. The customer may request a REC meter, which the City will install at the customer’s expense.

* The disconnect switch, and REC meter if installed, must be located within 10 feet of the net meter. All equipment must be tagged as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

* **_A net meter is designed to measure energy flow either to or from the grid. A REC meter is a separate meter which measures the energy output of the NMS, and may be required to claim RECs. _**

Electric Service Reqs

** NMS capacity must not exceed the customer’s highest monthly demand. Additional requirements may apply if capacity exceeds 10 kilowatts for a single-phase NMS or 100 kilowatts for a 3-phase NMS.

Install Reqs

* The NMS must meet all applicable safety and power quality standards established by the National Electrical Code (especially Articles 685, 690, and 705), Underwriters Laboratories (especially Standard 1741), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (especially Standard 1547). The City must witness the commissioning tests required by these standards. A complete, signed test report must be submitted to the City before it provides final authorization for operation of the NMS in parallel with the grid.

* The City Building Division may require a special inspection at customer expense if the NMS was not installed by a Nevada licensed C-2 or C-2g electrical contractor.

* Contact the City Building Division for structural, setback, zoning, and other requirements pertaining to the building permit.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with BCNV - Boulder City Utility 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.
