Before you invest in a system, contact us to see if your system can be interconnected safely and if there are any restrictions or limitations. Cogeneration When researching a cogeneration system such as solar panels, wind turbines, or other generators, some of the questions and considerations you should have in mind: Do you plan to interconnect the system to Verendrye's facilities? Have you consulted your utility to ensure it can be interconnected safely? Does equipment meet federal, state and local codes? What are the costs in addition to the system itself? Systems cannot be installed in a facility with submeters unless it is connected as a separate service. If you wish to install a system and interconnect it with the cooperative's electric distribution system you need to complete an application and submit it to us. Once we receive your application, we will review your proposed generator installation. If we approve your application, we will let you know if there are special steps you need to take during the generator installation process. We may request additional information regarding your planned installation. We will also ask you to sign a contract in which you agree to operate your generator safely, maintain the unit properly, and maintain insurance as needed. You can give us a call at anytime during this review process to find out the status of your application. If your application is not approved for any reason, we will explain the reason and be available to discuss your plans.
