Distributed Generation

Distributed Generation Cover Photo

Please contact Jackson Electric before committing to the purchase and install of a distributed generation system. Our member services department will review Jackson Electric's policies, procedures and fees with you so that you are aware and understand each of these before you put a deposit down on a system installation.

Fees:

  • Application fee (20 kW and less):  $250 per application (plus engineering fees, if applicable).
    Must be paid when the application is submitted.
  • Application fee (more than 20 kW):  Cost of engineering fees and other applicable studies.
  • Production meter, system commissioning, and labor:  $750 plus tax.
    Must be paid before system interconnection.
  • All systems will be inspected by Jackson Electric's master electrician. Cost of inspection paid by the Applicant.

Distributed Generation (DG) systems under 20 kW, such as wind turbines and solar electric arrays, can be interconnected and net metered under Jackson Electric Cooperative's DG program. Contact Jackson Electric to request a Distributed Generation Application Form for systems 20 kW or less and a Distributed Generation Interconnection Agreement for systems 20 kW or less. These forms have been updated and must be completed and signed before system interconnection. 

Systems 20 kW and less will be net metered monthly where the production will offset the consumption and any excess production will be banked to the next month. The true up month is June usage. Any excess production at that time will be paid at Dairyland Power's average wholesale avoided cost. Please note that if your bank is depleted before the true-up month, you will have to pay for your consumption.

Distributed Generation accounts will continue to be billed a monthly facility charge, public benefits, tax, and any other non-energy related charges to be paid by the member on file.

DG systems larger than 20 kW nameplate AC rating, but under 40 kW, may be interconnected but will not qualify for net metering and the entire electrical production will be purchased by Jackson Electric Cooperative at the Dairyland Power Cooperative's avoided cost rate. Generation is not used for consumption and will be fed back to Jackson Electric's service lines.

Policies may be changed at the Board of Director's discretion without notice.

Please contact Jackson Electric for DG systems larger than 40 kW nameplate AC rating.

No incentives are available for DG systems interconnected with Jackson Electric Cooperative's distribution system.
