Description
Interconnection of renewable generation facilities. Establishes procedures for the operator of an eligible non-utility electrical generation facility that is fueled by a renewable energy source to interconnect the facility with the transmission grid by co-locating transmission facilities with those of public service corporations and by occupying public rights-of-way through a procedure that requires the payment of a public rights-of-way use fee to the affected locality or the Department of Transportation. Amends § 56-15 (“Permits to place poles, wires, etc., in roads and streets in certain counties; charge therefor.”), § 56-17 (“Right of one public service corporation to cross the works of another; cost.”), § 56-259 (“Rights-of-way, etc., may be contracted for; location of easements of public service corporations.”), § 67-1100 (“Definitions.”), of the Code of Virginia.
