Maryland Community Solar Program

Applications and paperwork for the solar project will be submitted for approval from Maryland Interconnection department .

During this phase, the Developer or Contractor will need to work directly with Engineering or Interconnection on status of the project, approvals and project completion.

For more information on how to apply for interconnection, go to Maryland Interconnection.

When the solar project is complete and all required paperwork, inspections and applicable fees are received the Interconnection department will request the installation of a bi-directional meter.

After the bi-directional meter is installed at the solar site, an account will be established for the Host and the Subscriber Organization ID Number will be created.

At that time, with the required information the Subscriber Organization or Third Party Representative can begin submitting customer lists for allocation.

Please Note: No customer list will be processed by Supplier Services - PEMD until the Subscriber Organization or affiliate is granted permission to operate, a FE bi-directional meter is installed, and an active Host account exists.

1. Required Subscriber Organization or Third-Party information

• The Subscriber Organization will need to contact their developer or contractor to ensure the project has been completed, bi-directional meter is installed and permission to operate was received.                     
• If there will be a Third Party representing the Subscriber Organization, a Letter of Authorization (LOA) will need to be filled out and returned using “Contact Supplier Services” before any information can be released to the Third Party.
• Prior to submitting the Subscriber Organization Customer List, a Subscriber Organization should already have: the Subscriber Organization ID Number and the Subscriber Organization Interconnection GEN Number.

2. Submitting the Initial Subscriber Organization Customer List

• The completed Subscriber Organization Customer List form must be completely filled out and emailed to Supplier Services using the Contact Supplier Services form by the fifth business day prior to the end of the month. 
• Receiving the customer list five business days prior to the end of the generation month may cause early portion billed Subscribers not to receive the generation credit until up to two billing cycles.
• The Subscriber Organization Customer List must contain at least two Subscribers to be processed.

Please Note: You may submit a Subscriber Customer List, but the list will not be processed until the facility has a FE meter and active Host account in our system. The Developer or Contractor should be able to provide the status of the project as needed.

• Once the Customer List has been processed, a communication will be sent to the Subscriber Organization or Third Party Representative informing them of the status of the list. 
• A final communication will be sent to confirm the list has been processed and notifying of potential unsubscribed energy. Customers rejected during the enrollment process are not subscribed. 
• Any unsubscribed energy will be purchased from the subscriber organization at the net hourly, integrated, real-time Locational Marginal Price (LMP) or energy at APS residual aggregate zone within PJM. All valid accounts will be programmed prior to the last day of the submission month (not the generation month).

3. Submitting Subsequent Subscriber Organization Customer Lists

• Every month, a Subscriber Organization will be required to submit any changes to their original customer list, such as Add(A), Change(C), Drop(D), or even if customer remains Same(S).
• The completed Subscriber Organization Customer List form must be emailed to Supplier Services using the “Contact Supplier Services” form at Contact Supplier Services by the fifth business day prior to the end of the month. This is the deadline to receive and process the list each month, but Potomac Edison will accept the list any time before that date.   
• Receiving the list five business days prior to the end of the generation month may cause early portion billed subscribers not to receive the generation credit until up to two billing cycles later.
• The Subscriber Organization Customer List must contain at least two Subscribers to be processed. 
• Once the Customer List has been processed, a communication will be sent to the Subscriber Organization or Third Party Representative informing them. 
• A final communication will be sent to the Subscriber Organization or Third Party representative to confirm the list has been processed and provide notification of potential unsubscribed energy. Customers rejected during the enrollment process are not subscribed.
• Any unsubscribed energy will be purchased from the subscriber organization at the net hourly, integrated, real-time Locational Marginal Price (LMP) for energy at the APS residual aggregate zone within PJM. All valid accounts will be programmed prior to the last day of the submission month (not the generation month).
