Application Forms

Below are the template forms for the interconnection process. These represent all the forms that will be required from you by your utility. Individual utilities may use additional forms for notification of completed applications or requests for additional information.

Please note that these forms are for reference only. The forms that you use to apply for interconnection must be obtained by contacting your utility.

Simplified or Simplified Spot Network Process

Simplified Application Form
Fitchburg Gas & Electric | Mass Electric & Nantucket Electric | NSTAR (Boston Edison) | NSTAR (Cambridge) | NSTAR (Commonwealth) | Western Mass Electric

You must fill out and submit this form to initiate the simplified interconnection review process with your utility. All information must be filled out completely and accurately to initiate a utility review. The review process begins once the utility notifies you of receipt of a complete application.

In lieu of an interconnection agreement, the utility will sign the bottom of your submitted form and return a copy to you. This signifies approval to proceed with installation. A wiring inspection is still required, and a witness test may still be required after the generator is installed before final approval is provided by the utility.
