Solar Arrays and Wind Turbines
Environmental concerns and increases in electric rates have caused some members to consider purchasing generation equipment to replace all or a portion of the electricity provided by CCEC. Your electric cooperative encourages member generation of electricity (also known as distributed generation) if it can be done in a safe, inexpensive and environmentally friendly manner. Before members decide to install distributed generation equipment, we encourage them to analyze the cost for return of the investment, and this brochure may help with that analysis. If a member decides to install a solar array, wind turbine, or other distributed generation system, please contact us so we can verify the installation is installed in accordance with Cooperative policies (Policy 126), and we can discuss the feasibility of net metering (Policy 127).
