How to Apply for the Distributed Generation Program

Customers who purchase a renewable generation system for their home or business and wish to connect it to JEA’s power grid must apply for the Distributed Generation Program and follow certain steps to ensure the safety and reliability of the customer and the electric grid.

Please Note:

Interconnection Agreements are required for customers that move into a home with an existing PV or PV + Battery system in order to receive credit for energy sent back to-the-grid. For systems installed after March 31, 2018 please use the "Move-In Existing System - DG" application form in PowerClerk. For systems installed prior to March 31, 2018 that are grandfathered into JEA's Net-Metering program please use the "Move-In Existing System - NM" application form in PowerClerk.
