Wind Generation
Interconnecting with your co-op
Today's changing energy landscape is bringing more attention
to renewable energy resources, including wind.
Iowa's rural electric cooperatives support generation that is safe, reliable, cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
When you are considering the installation of a wind generator on your property, key issues are safety, reliability and integrity of the power grid and fairness in terms of cost to other member-consumers.
Whenever generation is connected to the transmission grid, the safety of cooperative employees, member-consumers and the general public must be given top priority. In addition, the member-consumer must meet certain requirements to allow your cooperative to maintain the reliability of the power grid and to ensure any associated costs are not imposed on other member-consumers.
