Off-Peak Energy shall be all kilowatt-hours used during all hours other than on-peak hours as described above.

Power Factor

If the power factor (leading or lagging) at the time of the Non-Coincident Demand is determined to be less than 97%, the Non-Coincident Demand shall be adjusted separately by multiplying the Non-Coincident Demand by the ratio of the current target power factor percent 97% and the measured actual power factor percent at the time of the Non-Coincident Demand.

If the Average Monthly Power Factor (leading or lagging) is determined to be less than 95%, the “Excess Net kVARh” subject to the “Excess Net kVARh charge” is the difference between the actual measured Net kVARh amount and a calculated Net kVARh based upon the recorded kWh for the month and the targeted average monthly power factor of 95%. The Net kVARh calculation is based upon the standard Average Monthly Power Factor equation of:

Rate tariff equation

DG System Requirements

The Member’s DG System must meet the following requirements:

  1. The nameplate rating of Member’s DG System must not greater than 49 kW.
    1. Exception to the 49 kW could be approved by Hoosier Energy and RushShelby Energy.
  2. The DG System must be owned and operated by the Member and must be located on the Member’s premises.
  3. The Member’s DG System must be intended primarily to offset part or all of the Member’s requirements for electricity.
  4. The DG System must operate in parallel with the Cooperative’s distribution facilities; and
  5. The DG System must satisfy the Cooperative’s Interconnection Standards as the same may be amended from time to time.

Interconnection Requirements; Terms & Conditions of Service

  1. The Member shall make such application and enter into such interconnection agreements as the Cooperative shall require from time to time.
  2. Any characteristic of the Member’s DG System or interconnection facilities that degrades or otherwise compromises the quality of service provided by the Cooperative to other Members will not be permitted.
  3. The Member shall agree that the Cooperative shall at all times have immediate access to the Member’s metering, control, and protective equipment.
  4. The Member shall install, operate and maintain the DG System and interconnection facilities in accordance with the manufacturer’s suggested practices for safe, efficient and reliable operation in parallel with the Cooperative’s system.
  5. The Cooperative may, at its own discretion, isolate any DG System if the Cooperative has reason to believe that continued interconnection creates or contributes to a system emergency.
  6. A disconnecting device must be located at the point of common coupling for all interconnections. The disconnecting device must be accessible to Cooperative personnel at all times and be suitable for use by the Cooperative as a protective tagging location. The disconnecting device shall have a visible open gap when in the open position and be capable of being locked in the open position. The cost and maintenance of the main disconnect switch shall reside with the Member.
  7. The Cooperative reserves the right to have a representative present during compliance testing at the time of installation and maintenance testing of the interconnection system for compliance with these conditions of service.
  8. The Member is responsible for establishing a program for and performing annual periodic scheduled maintenance on the Member’s DG System and interconnection facilities (relays, interrupting devices, control schemes and batteries that involve the protection of the Cooperative’s distribution system). A periodic maintenance program is to be established in accordance with the requirements of IEEE 1547. The Cooperative may examine copies of the periodic test reports or inspection logs associated with the periodic maintenance program.
