Whether you’re a small power producer looking to sell back to PGE or a renewable energy installer working through interconnection, we’re here to help. Our goal is to make sure your project is safe, reliable and successful.
Resources to get started
The categories below provide high-level summaries specific to the interconnection of small generator DERs to the PGE system. Each section can also be found in more detail in the Distribution Interconnection Handbook.
Discover helpful resources and tips to get started, including our Distributed Generation Evaluation Map, a thorough explanation of the application process, equipment and technical requirements and, most importantly, the Distribution Interconnection Handbook.
For interconnection programs including Net Metering, Generator Interconnection and Community Solar Program projects, you can submit an application online using PowerClerk. Non-Net Metering small generator projects can use PowerClerk to submit a pre-application request.
Generating 10 MW or less
If you’re seeking to install distributed energy resources (DERs) larger than 10 MW and up to 20 MW, you may qualify for a large generator interconnection on the same basis as DERs larger than 20 MW.

What to expect
First, confirm your project’s location. If your project is in one of the shaded areas, it may be on a limited feeder. To avoid delays or costly design changes, please wait for our approval before starting construction. We review all applications carefully to ensure safe and reliable interconnection to the grid without the need for modifications. Contact us for more information before submitting your Net Metering application. For additional resources, check out the links below:
