Section 4 CCR 723-3-3911 - Responsibility of a Utility to Provide Quality Service(a) A utility shall provide substantially the same quality of service to its customers and to the qualifying facility after interconnection of the qualifying facility as the utility provided prior to interconnection of the qualifying facility. The interconnection of the qualifying facility to the utility shall not degrade the utility's quality of service to its other customers. The qualifying facility shall pay for the interconnection facilities necessary to preserve the utility's quality of service to its other customers.(b) At the request of a qualifying facility or a utility prior to interconnection, a utility may evaluate the quality of service to be provided to the qualifying facility. The cost of conducting an evaluation shall be included as an interconnection cost of a qualifying facility. The evaluation may be used for the following purposes: (I) to estimate the effects of interconnection on the quality of service to be provided; and(II) to establish the quality of service that a utility shall provide to a qualifying facility after interconnection.(c) If the qualifying facility desires a superior quality of service to that established by an evaluation performed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this rule, any increased cost shall be an interconnection cost of the qualifying facility.38 CR 17, September 10, 2015, effective 9/30/201539 CR 06, March 25, 2016, effective 4/14/201639 CR 08, April 25, 2016, effective 5/15/201640 CR 22, November 25, 2017, effective 12/15/201742 CR 03, February 10, 2019, effective 3/2/201942 CR 07, April 10, 2019, effective 4/30/201942 CR 09, May 10, 2019, effective 5/30/201943 CR 08, April 25, 2020, effective 5/15/202043 CR 12, June 25, 2020, effective 7/15/202043 CR 20, October 25, 2020, effective 11/14/202044 CR 13, July 10, 2021, effective 7/30/202144 CR 24, December 25, 2021, effective 1/14/202245 CR 18, September 25, 2022, effective 10/15/202246 CR 02, January 25, 2023, effective 2/14/2023
