Interconnect Wholesale Energy Rate
Interconnection Metering (Greater than 50 kW)
Applicable to members with distributed generation (DG) that is greater than 50 kW AC. The member must have an effective agreement for interconnection with the cooperative, according to PEC’s Tariff and Business Rules, and comply with the applicable provisions.
For more information on this rate, see the Tariff.
Metering service
The cooperative may install two meters, owned and operated by the cooperative, for the member. The first meter will record total DG production. The second meter will have two registers, one that records energy delivered (Delivered Energy) to the member and another that records surplus energy returned to the cooperative through DG system overproduction (Received Energy). The cooperative will have access to all of the member’s meter data for billing purposes.
- Delivered Energy is the total energy delivered to a member from PEC during the billing cycle (member is billed based on Delivered Energy).
- Received Energy is the total surplus energy received by PEC during the billing cycle from the DG system overproduction (member is given a credit based on Received Energy).

Your monthly bill will be the sum of the above charges plus any applicable fees.
*The Peak Capacity Charge is measured as the power delivered to a member or received by PEC for any 15-minute interval during the billing period. The Peak Capacity Charge replaces the previous Peak Demand Charge. For more information, see the Tariff.
**The demand (kW) used for this charge will be the member’s Four Coincident Peak (4CP) measurement from the previous summer. For members without a 4CP established, TCOS will be charged on a kWh basis. More information, click here.
