(2023). //State microgrid policy, programmatic, and regulatory framework: NASEO-NARUC Microgrids State Working Group//. National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), August 2023. https://pubs.naruc.org/pub/2649E6EB-D7CE-77DC-2BE3-89D48A713213)) In general, this is the customer side of the utility's meter. The PCC is a key reference point in grid connection standards, microgrid design, and distributed energy resource regulation, as it determines the boundary of measurement, responsibility, and control between network operator and customer. <WRAP stub> This topic is part of the ISGAN Wiki and is currently being developed.
