Interconnecting

Use TNMP's online distribution generation application system to submit applications.

Please submit the DG application and supporting documentation, (one-line diagram and site plan), via TNMP’s DG Portal.  The One-Line and Site Plan must include the Customer’s ESI Id and TNMP meter number.  The Site Plan must identify the location of TNMP’s meter and the AC Disconnect of the DG system.

After the DG application is submitted, the customer will receive an email, from PowerClerk Notification, requesting that they affirm that the Installer is authorized to submit the DG Application on their behalf and that the information submitted is correct.  The Customer Confirmation email contains a link to the confirmation.  The Customer must complete the confirmation before the DG application progresses to Application Review. 

See Attached Sample of the Customer Confirmation email.
