M3 Process
M3 confirms PTO, meter/interconnection evidence, and production evidence before final milestone payment.
Milestone Timing
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Begins When | Utility PTO is available or the project is operating under MAC's no-PTO timing rule. |
| Ends When | MAC approves PTO/interconnection evidence and production evidence. |
| Common Delay | PTO is interim, the monitoring portal is not showing production, or the production window resets after corrections. |
