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?
_____
Click on the picture to view and download a copy of the Skystream "Owner’s Manual".
___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 "Owners
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 building permit is approved. Typically, a Master Electrician

apply for
this permit in your behalf.
Trenching and wiring must
be completed prior to the electrical inspector's visit.
