Grid Access Charge for Distributed Generation

Lake Region Electric Cooperative implemented a Grid Access Charge for Distributed Generation on new or expanded distributed generation systems (wind, solar, etc.) interconnected to LREC’s electric system beginning July 1st, 2019. Systems interconnected with LREC prior to July 1st, 2019, are not affected unless capacity is added. The additional capacity will be subject to the fee.

For residential and farm, the grid access fee will be applied monthly at $2.41/kW for each kW over 3.5 kW on facility’s nameplate to a maximum of $18/mo. For example, a 5 kW system would be charged for only 1.5 kW, which equates to $3.62 per month. The cooperative will review the fee annually and provide notice of any changes.
