Wind Energy Info

Because small wind systems can affect the safety and reliability of the cooperative's system, there are interconnection rules that address safety and reliability impacts. These rules ensure we can continue to provide you and other members with safe and reliable electricity service.

To accomplish this we must protect the safety of cooperative personnel and our member-consumers, maintain the integrity and reliability of the grid, and establish mechanisms to ensure rate equity for all member-consumers.

In this section, you will find the following information:

Small Wind Energy Systems

Ten Steps to a Small Wind System
Walks you through the various issues associated with a small wind system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Answers to the questions that our member-consumers most often ask.

Electric Rate Tariff Section 29
