220 ILCS 5/17-1000: Interconnection application fees for public schools.

A municipal system or electric cooperative shall not charge an application fee to a public school for the interconnection of renewable generating facilities located on the public school's land to the local distribution system that exceeds more than 150% of the cost authorized by law or by rule to be recovered from customers by public utilities for the same or similarly sized facilities with the same or similar electric configurations to the local distribution system. An interconnection application fee shall be in addition to inspection fees or costs, municipal building permit fees, and other normal fees charged by municipalities for governmental considerations related to non-electric utilities. The limit on an interconnection application fee under this Section does not apply to any required reimbursement by a public school of the cost of any reasonably required metering equipment, system impact studies, or system upgrades, which shall be limited to actual costs reasonably incurred.
