Application for Operation of
Customer-Owned Generation
This application is used to determine the required equipment configuration. Every effort should be
made to supply as much information as possible.
Note: for Micro Generation Projects (10 kWe and smaller), only complete Part 1. For all other projects
both Part 1 and 2 need to be completed.
All fields marked with an asterisk* are mandatory and must be completed in order for your request
to be processed. Please email the completed form to engineering@whitbyhydro.on.ca
Attachment:
Please attach a detailed one-line diagram of the proposed facility, all applicable elementary diagrams,
major equipment (generators, transformers, inverters, circuit breakers, protective relays, etc.)
specifications, test reports, etc., and other applicable drawings or documents necessary for the proper
design of the interconnection. Also describe the project’s planned operating mode (e.g., combined heat
and power, peak shaving, etc.), and its address or grid coordinates.
