Please note:

• The Distributed Generation rate is an avoided cost rate, meaning the Cooperative pays Members for all energy produced at a wholesale rate.
• This rate is calculated monthly based on the Cooperative’s total energy and fuel cost divided by the total kilowatt-hours purchased from its wholesale power provider, as reflected on the most recent wholesale power bill.
