Application Tips and Tricks – Adding comments to the application overview may prevent many types of Need Info delays

Overview comments may be used to explain changes, relationships, and discrepancies. Examples include:

  • Explaining why the name on the Proof of Site Control is different from the name on the Interconnection Agreement. For example, “Jack Baker and Jane Miller are a married couple”.
  • Indicating a change in the installer between the Disclosure Form and Part I application or between the Part I and Part II applications. For example, “The installer is Company ABC. Business XYZ uses its services as a subcontractor and obtains the documentation for the customer”.
  • Noting AC size changes that required a new DF to be signed. For example, “A new DF (12345) has been signed due to change in AC size”.Explaining why the address on supporting documents is different from the address on the DF and application. For example, “The address at 1234 Main St. is the correct physical address, while the address listed on the documentation, 1134 Main St., is the utility address associated with the project”.

Keep in mind that applications must still provide all necessary data in applicable fields. Overview comments cannot be used to circumvent Program or application requirements.
