High voltage pool policy

The high voltage (HV) subdivision pool allows the cost of installing HV infrastructure to be shared among developers of residential subdivisions. The pool reimburses developers who have paid for more than their share of the HV infrastructure, and collects funds from developers who make use of excess capacity on that infrastructure. 

More information can be found in the UDS manual (PDF 2.77mb).
