Installing the project

Once a Project Sponsor signs a standard program agreement with AEP, the Project Sponsor may begin to install the project's measures at the host customer's site within 6 months of the Effective Date. When installation of the project is complete, the Project Sponsor must submit an Installation Report to AEP within 15 days of measure installation. The Installation Report contains the following:

• A detailed description of the energy-efficient equipment actually installed
• A description of the operating conditions at the customer's site
• A form filled out by the host customer indicating that the equipment was installed

AEP then conducts an inspection of the site to verify that the equipment specified in the standard agreement has been installed and has the potential to generate demand and energy savings. If the project passes this post-installation inspection, the Project Sponsor may invoice AEP for an incentive payment. This review/inspection process typically takes about 30 business days.
