Navigating the regulatory landscape for early-stage embedded generation projects

Municipalities need to navigate a complex web of national and local legislation when developing an embedded generation project. Doing this successfully at the early stages is crucial for making key decisions about site location, ownership, and financing. It is also important for identifying and avoiding fatal flaws that would stop the project from progressing. Thus, the purpose of this report is to help municipalities understand the regulatory landscape during the early (prefeasibility) stages of embedded generation projects. The report focuses first on current legislation before taking an in-depth look at upcoming changes to the landscape.
