The proposed changes for Newfoundland and Labrador

Here's how Newfoundland and Labrador can unlock plug-in solar, every pathway below names a specific actor with the authority to act and the legal basis they would use.

Helen Conway Ottenheimer — Attorney General, Minister of Justice and Public Safety
How it could change. Amendment to NL electrical code regulations under provincial safety legislation

Create a plug-in generation class for certified systems under 1200W with reduced permit and electrician requirements for cord-and-outlet connection.

Does this need new legislation? No
Lloyd Parrott — Minister of Energy and Mines
How it could change. Ministerial policy direction and PUB filing under the Electrical Power Control Act

Create a plug-in generation category exempt from standard net metering interconnection. Certified systems under 1200W connect via standard outlet without utility application or meter upgrade. On-site use only, anti-islanding required.

Does this need new legislation? No
