The actual cost of any actions taken to address the adverse system impacts, including overheads, shall be directly assigned to the applicant or interconnection customer by the public utility. If allowed by the commission, the applicant or interconnection customer may be entitled to financial compensation from other public utility customers or other interconnection customers who, in the future, utilize the upgrades paid for by the applicant or interconnection customer.
