What are the requirements to connect to the grid with a commercial, multi installation of small wind turbines?
It's best to work with your local utility early in the process.
Utility companies may differ in their interconnection procedures and agreements, so it's best to work directly with your local utility early in the process--preferably before purchasing any equipment.
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is an independent state agency that oversees Wisconsin public utilities and provides valuable information and utility contacts regarding distributed-electrical generation and utility interconnection. Chapter PSC 119 describes the rules for interconnecting distributed-generation facilities.
Focus on Energy also has a lot of useful information on this topic and others in the "Small Wind Toolbox".
