Next Steps Checklist ___Step 1:
Review your utility bill. What is your average use in kilowatts per day?
_____ What is your kilowatt use per month?
_____ What is the charge per kilowatt?
_____ ___Step 2: Call Utility Company Request “Interconnection Agreement” to be mailed to you. _____ The 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) requires Utilities to allow you to connect to the
grid. ___Step 3: County
and/or Local Jurisdiction Zoning Permit If
no zoning code specific for 'residential wind generator' exists, then request building permit for an “Accessory Structure” (Fees apply) > Include a copy of the Skystream "Owner’s Manual"
with the building permit application so that reviewers can use it to answer all their questions. > Include a copy of your "Interconnection
Agreement" request.
Homeowner may apply for this type of building permit. You are very likely to be the first in the County to
request a permit for a Skystream.
Your personal touch as a "citizen" will go a long way rather than a contractor doing it for you. (save you some money too!) PWE can assist you in obtaining permits. (Fees Apply) Electrical Permit will be required once the
