Section 160. Insurance  


Latest version.
  • A. For a small generating facility with a rated capacity not exceeding 10 kW, the IC, at its own expense, shall secure and maintain in effect during the term of the agreement liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $100,000 for each occurrence.

    For an SGF with a rated capacity exceeding 10 kW but not exceeding 500 kW, the IC, at its own expense, shall secure and maintain in effect during the term of the agreement liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $300,000 for each occurrence.

    For an SGF with a rated capacity exceeding 500 kW but not exceeding 2 MW, the IC, at its own expense, shall secure and maintain in effect during the term of the agreement liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $2 million for each occurrence. Insurance coverage for an SGF with a rated capacity exceeding 2 MW shall be determined on a case-by-case basis and shall reflect the size of the installation and the potential for system damage.

    B. Certificates of insurance evidencing the requisite coverage and provision shall be furnished to the utility prior to the date of interconnection of the SGF. The utility shall be permitted to periodically obtain proof of current insurance coverage from the IC in order to verify continuing proper liability insurance coverage. The IC will not be allowed to commence or continue interconnected operations unless evidence is provided that required insurance coverage is in effect at all times.
