Photo credit: www.domlec.dm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>(DNO)<\/strong> General Manager of Dominica Electricity Services Limited Collin Cover has said renewable electricity is welcomed by DOMLEC as long as it is first inspected and deemed safe.<\/p>\n<p>Cover, who spoke at a press conference at the DOMLEC\u2019s office last week,\u00a0 said that he sees nothing wrong with persons and companies\u00a0 generating their own power on a small scale to reduce their monthly bills.<\/p>\n<p>Last week a wind energy system was turned on for the first time in Rosalie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing new with companies generating their own electricity. It\u2019s the first time that we have had somebody doing it with renewable energy. Today as a matter of fact, at 10 o\u2019clock this morning I was at Rosalie when they turned it on for the first time and they started generating their own power with wind,\u201d Cover said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, many other companies&#8230; have always been generating their own power for their own use in Dominica. So I do welcome the renewables&#8230; I don\u2019t know if many people know but we actually do now have sanction by the IRC and interconnection policy and for renewable energy&#8230;.and we wrote it and it was just passed by the IRC perhaps two and a half weeks ago. But we now have actual rules about interconnection with renewable energy to the DOMLEC system,\u201d the general manager said.<\/p>\n<p>Cover explained that obtaining bigger renewable systems come with stricter the rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt depends on the size system you have. If you have a very small system like just a small solar panel you\u2019re just gonna put on your house, you not trying to sell power to DOMLEC, you just trying to reduce your own bill, and its less than five kilowatts&#8230;Once we come and inspect it, and you hook up, that\u2019s all you really need to do once we inspect it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cover said that one also has to first get permission from the Independent Regulatory Commission (IRC) in order to be able to practice these renewable electricity practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c As you get bigger and you get to the point where you want now to sell power back to DOMLEC there are different sets of rules. The bigger you get, the stricter our enforcement becomes&#8230; But for the small householder who just want to do something to reduce their own bill&#8230;.there\u2019s a streamline process. It&#8217;s basically once we check the equipment and realize that it\u2019s safe equipment you hook up and get very little paper work to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(DNO) General Manager of Dominica Electricity Services Limited Collin Cover has said renewable electricity is welcomed by DOMLEC as long as it is first inspected and deemed safe.
