Interconnection fees shall be governed as follows for all Interconnection Requests and shall be published on each EU's website:
1. An EU may not charge an application, or other fee, to an applicant that requests Level 1 interconnection review. However, if an application for Level 1 interconnection review is denied because it does not meet the requirements for Level 1 interconnection review and the applicant resubmits the application under another review procedure in accordance with the MDGIR, the EU may impose a fee for the resubmitted application, consistent with this section.2. For a Level 2 interconnection review, the EU may charge fees of up to $50.00 plus $1.00 per kilowatt of the customer-generator facility's capacity, plus the reasonable cost of any required minor modifications to the electric distribution system or additional review. Costs for such minor modifications or additional review will be based on the EU's non-binding, good faith estimates and the ultimate actual installed costs. Costs for engineering work done as part of any additional review will not exceed $100.00 per hour.3. For a Level 3 interconnection review, the EU may charge fees of up to $100.00 plus $2.00 per kilowatt of the customer-generator facility's capacity, as well as charges for actual time spent on any required impact or facilities studies. Costs for engineering work done as part of an impact study or interconnection facilities study will not exceed $100.00 per hour. If the EU must install facilities in order to accommodate the interconnection of the customer generating facility, the cost of such facilities will be the responsibility of the applicant.39 Miss.
