Schedule GS-1 DG General Service – Single Phase – Distributed Generation Interconnection

Availability

This Rate Schedule is available to any Member of RushShelby Energy (the “Cooperative”) that is currently being billed under the Residential Electric Service Rate who has a qualified distributed generation system (DG System) of not more than 49 kW and who desire to interconnect such DG System with the Cooperative’s distribution system.

In order to qualify for this Rate Schedule, the Member must meet the DG System Requirements and Interconnection Requirements specified below. Total participation under this Rate Schedule is limited, on a first come first serve basis, to those residential Members of the Cooperative applying for this rate whose aggregate DG Systems name-plate rating is equal to or less than 0.1% of the Cooperative’s most recent peak load.

Metering & Billing

The Cooperative will utilize a net-billing process for all eligible DG Systems which are interconnected with the Cooperative’s distribution system. The Cooperative will provide (at the customer’s expense) and maintain (at the customer’s expense) all metering equipment necessary to implement net-billing. Under the net-billing process, the Cooperative will calculate on a monthly basis the charges due from the Member for all electric service provided by the Cooperative to the Member under the Net Billing Rate Schedule. The Cooperative will net against the amount due from the Member, an amount based on the electric service generated by the Member’s DG System and provided to the Cooperative based on the Credits contained hereinafter. If the Credits for the electric service generated by the Member that is provided to the Cooperative are less than the charges for the electric services the Cooperative provided to the Member, the Member will pay the Cooperative the net difference. If the Credits for the electric service generated by the Member that are provided to the Cooperative are greater than the charges for the electric services the Cooperative provided to the Member, the Member will receive a credit that can be used to reduce payments in future billing periods. If the Member discontinues operation of the DG System, any remaining credits will revert to the Member. In either case, the Member shall remain responsible for all applicable billed charges, including Member charges and demand charges.

Character of Service

Service under this schedule shall be alternating current, 60 Hertz, single-phase at voltage of approximately 120/240 volts three wire, or other voltage as might be mutually agreed upon.

Monthly Rate

Connection Charge: $55 per month
Energy Charge
- January to March - All kWh per month: $0.0943 per kWh
- April to May and October to December - All kWh per month: $0.1005 per kWh
- June to September - All kWh per month: $0.1103 per kWh
Energy Credit for energy supplied by Customer (“Credits”): $0.04 per kWh

Minimum Monthly Charge

The minimum monthly charge under the above rate shall be the Customer Charge.

Terms & Conditions of Service

Service shall be provided based upon the Cooperative’s rules and regulations on file at the Cooperative office as the same may be amended from time to time.
All single-phase motors or apparatuses with an inrush current in excess of 250 amps at 240 volts shall require Cooperative approval.
Service under this schedule shall be limited to one meter for the same Member at the same location where the service can be adequately supplied from a single service. In the case of cogeneration, net metering or an additional meter may be necessary. The cost of the upgrade or second meter shall be at the expense of the Member and ownership will be by the Cooperative.

Rate Adjustment

For purposes of calculating the customer’s energy credit (Credits shown above) pursuant to this rate schedule, the Cooperative’s purchased power cost for energy (excluding costs and kWh for Hoosier’s IPS rate and EDR rate) shall be calculated annually in January based on the actual wholesale power purchase cost for energy charged to the Cooperative for the prior calendar year.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Upon the Cooperative’s request, the Cooperative shall be informed of the next scheduled maintenance and be able to witness the maintenance performed and any associated testing.

The Cooperative shall have right to require additional safety features at the cost of the Member.
The Member must obtain, at his or her expense, all necessary inspections, and approvals required by codes prior to being authorized by the Cooperative to connect the Member’s DG System to the Cooperative’s distribution system. The Member will supply the Cooperative with certification that DG System has received all necessary code approvals and that it meets, or exceeds, all applicable safety and performance standards.
The Member’s DG System when operated in parallel with the Cooperative’s system must be designed and capable of immediately and automatically ceasing interconnected operation during any outages on the Cooperative’s system and during other emergency or abnormal conditions as specified by applicable codes and standards. The Member must cease parallel operation of its DG System immediately upon notification by the Cooperative if such operation is deemed unsafe or interferes with the supply of service to others, or interferes with system operation or maintenance. The Cooperative accepts no responsibility for damage or injury to any person or property caused by the failure of the Member to operate in compliance with the Cooperative’s or any other requirements.
Failure of the Member to comply with any of these requirements shall result in disconnection of service to the Member from the Cooperative’s system. The Cooperative will be under no obligation to reconnect the Member until the Member’s DG System either complies with the requirements or is permanently disconnected from any parallel operation with Cooperative’s system.

System Modifications

If it is necessary for the Cooperative to modify portions of its existing system to provide larger capacity facilities or metering to accommodate the purchase of electricity from the Member pursuant hereto, the Member will be responsible for the entire cost of said upgrades.
