Distributed Generation

You are here

  1. Service
  2. Distributed Generation

Before electric cooperatives began stringing power lines through rural America, many farm families made do with their own sources of electric generation. Noisy, often unreliable technologies like steam engines, windmills, and ram pumps were the only options available to make electricity a part of daily life.

Today, the cutting-edge cousins of these early generators can be spotted in a number of settings: a solar panel on your neighbor’s roof, or perhaps even a wind turbine at the high school down the road.

These mini power plants, called distributed generation or on-site power, make up one percent of all electricity generated in the United States. For consumers, distributed generation can stand in as emergency backup power, provide greater independence, make an environmental statement, and in some cases can decrease electric utility bills.

To assist our members, we have developed materials to navigate the complex process from project conception to completion. If you have any questions please contact your KREMC engineering department 574-267-6331 or mail@kremc.com.

DG Account
When my system produces excess electricity, what is the kWh rate paid by KREMC?

$0.074 (Schedule DG Distributed Generation Rider).

Does the Kosciusko REMC offer “net metering?”

Kosciusko REMC does not offer net metering as it negates cost-fairness among Cooperative members.

Where does KREMC get the reading?

Your KREMC meter sends data each day containing the kWh you purchased from KREMC and the excess kWh that KREMC is purchasing from you.

How do I receive the funds from my excess generation?

Credits will be carried over from month-to-month and issued yearly in the form of a bill credit to the account connected to the meter.

Are there different rates for various sized systems?

Systems under 10kW fall within the guidelines outlined. For larger systems, please contact KREMC.

How long will it take for me to start generating electricity?

KREMC will help you establish a time line taking into account variables related to connecting to the grid.

Are there any equipment standards?

Yes, please see the packet “Distributed Generation Interconnection Requirements.”
