1 Qualified User Criteria
To participate in the MEM, load centers must meet the following criteria:
- Must have a minimum peak demand of 1MW
- Must operate on either medium or high voltage
- If minimum peak demand threshold is not met, aggregation of multiple load centers is possible; however, each load center must have a minimum peak demand of 25 kW, and all load centers to be aggregated must belong to the same legal/business entity. If the legal entity differs, each legal entity must share the majority shareholder.
- When sharing a substation, all load centers connected to the substation must migrate to the MEM, and all must contract with the same retailer.
