This Rate Schedule is available to any Member of Bartholomew County Rural Electric Membership Corporation (the “Cooperative”) that is currently being billed under the Residential Electric Service Rate who has a qualified distributed generation system (“DG System”) of not more than 50 kW and who desire to interconnect such DG System with the Cooperative’s distribution system.

In order to qualify for this Rate Schedule, the Member must meet the DG System Requirements and Interconnection Requirements specified below. Total participation under this Rate Schedule is limited, on a first come first serve basis, to those residential Members of the Cooperative applying for this rate whose aggregate DG Systems name-plate rating is equal to or less than 0.1% of the Cooperative’s most recent peak load.

Metering & Billing

The Cooperative will utilize a net-billing process for all eligible DG Systems which are interconnected with the Cooperative’s distribution system. The Cooperative will provide (at the customer’s expense) and maintain (at the customer’s expense) all metering equipment necessary to implement net-billing. Under the net-billing process, the Cooperative will calculate on a monthly basis the charges due from the Member for all electric service provided by the Cooperative to the Member under the Net Billing Rate Schedule. The Cooperative will net against the amount due from the Member, an amount based on the electric service generated by the Member’s DG System and provided to the Cooperative based on the Credits contained hereinafter. If the Credits for the electric service generated by the Member that is provided to the Cooperative are less than the charges for the electric services the Cooperative provided to the Member, the Member will pay the Cooperative the net difference. If the Credits for the electric service generated by the Member that are provided to the Cooperative are greater than the charges for the electric services the Cooperative provided to the Member, the Member will receive a credit that can be used to reduce payments in future billing periods. If the Member discontinues operation of the DG System, any remaining credits will revert to the Member. In either case, the Member shall remain responsible for all applicable billed charges, including Member charges and demand charges.
