Section 4 CCR 723-3-3927 - Disconnection of a Qualifying Facility(a) If a utility determines that a qualifying facility has not complied with its maintenance schedule, that a qualifying facility's protective equipment is not operating properly, or that a qualifying facility has been reselling the utility's energy or capacity to the utility, the utility may disconnect the qualifying facility without notice or may give the qualifying facility up to 30-days' notice of disconnection.(b) A notice of disconnection shall inform the qualifying facility of the maintenance to be performed, the operational practices to be modified or terminated, or the repairs to be made to protective equipment to prevent disconnection. To avoid disconnection, the qualifying facility shall comply with all requirements prior to the date of the proposed disconnection. The qualifying facility shall notify the utility when it has complied, at which time the utility shall re-inspect the qualifying facility. If the utility determines that the qualifying facility has complied, the qualifying facility shall not be disconnected. If the utility determines that the qualifying facility has not complied, the qualifying facility shall be disconnected as provided in the notice of disconnection.(c) A utility and a qualifying facility may agree to a reasonable continuance of a disconnection, or to a reconnection where the qualifying facility has been disconnected, if the utility believes that the qualifying facility is making a bona fide effort to comply. If the qualifying facility has been disconnected for reselling the utility's energy and/or capacity to the utility, the agreement shall be conditioned on the qualifying facility's paying the utility for the resold energy and/or capacity.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
