The DG Locational Guidance Map depicts a portion of the distribution system in one (1) square mile blocks with color shading and cross-hatching to indicate a subset of the cumulative and individual site constraints that impact interconnection of additional DG at that location. Regardless of the depiction on the Map, interconnection of additional DG could require significant mitigations, such as specialized inverter settings, direct transfer trip, or infrastructure upgrades.
The Duke Energy Distributed Generation (“DG”) Locational Guidance Analysis (as of February 2023)
<div>The DG Locational Guidance Map is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for the generator interconnection process and does not confer any rights between Duke and any third party. All interconnection requests submitted to the Company are subject to the applicable generator interconnection process and Duke’s technical policies and standard, including the Method of Service Guidelines. </div><div><br /></div><div>Note that some smaller capacity DG projects may be exempt from constraints depicted on the DG Locational Guidance map as described in the Method of Service Guidelines. </div><div><br /></div><div>The DG Locational Guidance Map is not intended to substitute for the more detailed analysis that is performed under the applicable interconnection processes. Ultimately, a detailed system impact study will be needed to determine the amount of generation that can be interconnected at a given location, as well as the mitigations required to interconnect. </div><div><br /></div><div>Portions of the distribution system excluded from the map include but are not limited to single phase taps, segments downstream of a line voltage regulator (LVR), “spare” and “generator” banks or feeders, sensitive banks or feeders, planned/future/proposed banks or feeders, net metered DG and DG < 250kW in size. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The DG Locational Guidance Map is populated from data available at a specific snapshot in time and may not reflect current conditions. The DG Locational Guidance Map also does not include certain engineering or technical limitations, including but not limited to limitations on the transmission system, on protective devices involving reverse power flow, and on substation protective devices. Interconnection Customers may submit to Duke a pre-application request or a formal interconnection request for more information on system constraints beyond the distribution system.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Please note that the DG Locational Guidance Map represents a snapshot in time of the distribution system and therefore is not intended and does not reflect iterative, real-time changes on the distribution system that will occur subsequent to release of the DG Locational Guidance Map. Currently, Duke intends to refresh the DG Locational Guidance Map on an annual basis. </div>
