Contractors: OUC has enhanced the Solar Interconnection Application process with a new online portal. All interconnection applications and supporting documentation must be submitted via the portal, as OUC will no longer accept emailed applications. For registration instructions, click here. Once registered, contractors will be able to submit their customers’ interconnection applications via the portal, as well as track application status.
