State and Regional Energy Planning
Status: Completed
Details: Wyoming is part of the Western Governor's Association (WGA). In June 2006 the Governors signed resolutions to meet or exceed goals of 30,000 MW of clean energy by 2015 and a 20% increase in energy efficiency by 2020, to encourage adequate funding for state energy efficiency and renewable generation programs, and to facilitate development of regional energy markets.

Interconnection Standards—Clean Distributed Generation
Status: No Activity Identified
Details: Considered no action because only available to net metered (renewable energy) systems. The Wyoming PSC opened a docket (9000-95-XR-06) to consider adoption of the new PURPA Interconnection Standard, as required by 2005 EPAct. The PSC determined on January 25, 2007, that they don't need to adopt EPAct interconnection. WY has interconnection requirements in their net metering law (Wyo. Stat. § 37-16-101 et seq). Systems up to 25 kW that generate electricity using solar, wind, hydropower, or biomass resources are eligible to interconnect. Systems must comply with NEC, IEEE, and UL standards. Customers must install an external disconnect switch. Additional liability insurance is not required. All utilities in the state have their own interconnection agreement forms modeled after the one developed by Rocky Mountain Power.
