Micro Generation
In 2008 the Government of Alberta introduced a new Micro Generation Regulation to accommodate interconnection of certain Micro Generators utilizing renewable or alternative resources. According to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) Micro Generator Application Guideline the following criteria apply:
“A typical Micro Generator is a residential or small commercial generator with a capacity less than 1 MW that is connected to the electrical distribution system. The electricity produced is for personal use and it is generally expected that on an annual basis generation will be equal to consumption.”
For additional information, please refer directly to the Micro-Generation Regulation (ar 27/2008) on the AUC website.
If you wish to apply for Micro Generator interconnection within the ENMAX Power Distribution system please refer to the Micro Generator Application Guideline and Micro Generator Application on the AUC website.
Please submit completed applications to generationinterconnection@enmax.com.
