Residential Service with Small Renewable Generation Systems (Rider SRG)

What this tariff charges

Energy rates

The charged price is the base rate plus its adjustment. Adjustments carry fuel and rider costs and are frequently most of the bill, so a comparison built on the base rate alone is meaningless.

Energy charge

What it costs at different usage levels

Effective rate includes the fixed charge, which is why it falls as usage rises.

The utility's own description

Service under this Rider is available only to consumers located in the Cooperative’s service territory who own a small renewable generator (wind, photovoltaic, biomass-fueled, hydro) that is interconnected directly with and operated in parallel with the Cooperative’s distribution system with a capacity of 25 kW or less and contract with the Cooperative to sell all generating capacity and energy to the Cooperative. Service necessary for the delivery of the consumer’s power into the Cooperative’s system under this Rider shall be furnished solely to the individual contracting consumer in a single enterprise, located entirely on a single, contiguous premise, and owned by the consumer installing the small renewable generator. Service hereunder shall be restricted to the capacity of the consumer’s generating facilities. Power delivered to the Cooperative under this Rider shall not offset or be substituted for power contracted for under any other schedule of the Cooperative. The obligations of the Cooperative in regard to service under this Rider are dependent upon its securing and retaining all necessary rights-of-way, privileges, franchises, and permits for such service. The Cooperative shall not be liable to any consumer or applicant for power in the event it is delayed in or is prevented from purchasing power by its failure to secure and retain such rights-of-way, rights, privileges, franchises, and permits.
