Hosting capacity definition
Hosting capacity shall have the meaning ascribed to it in APPENDIX I.
Hosting capacity means a threshold at a circuit at which new distributed energy resources will trigger upgrades or changes to the electrical distribution system and cost considerations of related upgrades and changes. [PL 2021, c. 702, §8 (NEW).]
Hosting capacity means the available power flow capacity on distribution system circuits that is used to determine incremental allowable interconnection of generator facilities. Hosting capacity may be a positive number, indicating that there is surplus power flow capability or zero, indicating that the circuit is closed to incremental generationor facilities.
