Net Energy Metering applications for interconnection must be filled out through our online form. Most residential customers will use this form.

Please submit your application two (2) weeks prior to city and/or county inspection being released. Submitting your application within this time-frame will minimize or avoid unexpected delays in the application approval process.

Fast Track Process

Customers are eligible for the Fast Track Process if the system size is less than 30kW, the application is submitted 5 business days prior to the city/county inspection, and there are no access issues on the property.  In order to apply for the Fast Track Process the application must include a clear digital photo of the plaque and the electric meter (in the same frame).  These additional items will need to be uploaded along with the single line diagram.

The NEM application may take up to 15 minutes to complete. To prevent your session from timing out, please have all required documents on hand before starting the application process.
