The proposed changes for Prince Edward Island

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

Bloyce Thompson — Minister of Justice and Public Safety, Attorney General
How it could change. Amendment to electrical code regulations under the Electrical Inspection Act

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

Legal basis: The Electrical Inspection Act and its regulations sit under the Justice and Public Safety portfolio in PEI. Amendments to create a plug-in solar class can be made by regulation.
Does this need new legislation? No
Jenn Redmond — Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Artificial Intelligence
How it could change. Policy direction combined with IRAC rulemaking under the Electric Power Act

Create a plug-in generation category in Maritime Electric’s Net Metering for certified systems under 1200W. Exempt from engineering review, interconnection agreement, and meter upgrade.

Legal basis: Maritime Electric operates under IRAC regulation; provincial government policy direction flows through the ministry responsible for economic development and energy. A plug-in class can be established through an IRAC filing amending the Net Metering program.
Does this need new legislation? No
