Town of Estes Park Power: Plan Review of Solar Installations
The Utilities Department has the following Plan Review comments for solar installations:
- Applicant must complete an Interconnection Agreement with the Estes Park Power and Communications Division prior to installation and operation.
- Review the Town of Estes Park’s Renewable Energy Net Metering Policy.
- Town standards specify a maximum electrical generation of 10kW for residential services and 25kW for commercial services or a system capable of producing up to 120% of the prior 12 months electric consumption, whichever is greater.
- New solar services in unincorporated Larimer County require a Larimer County Solar Permit and must be inspected.
- It is required that all solar generated power have an externally mounted disconnect with lockout apparatus.
- On receipt of the meter release, Town staff will automatically perform a final site inspection, update the electric meter and billing account, and finalize the Interconnection Agreement for CO/PTO approval.
