Who out there requires safety disconnect accessible to the utility when the customer adds generation? Minnesota Power requires an easily accessible disconnect and it must provide a visual open that is also lockable by the utility. We also this lockout point to be located within 10 ft of the main metering point. We grant no exceptions to this standard.
