OPEN MEMBERSHIP MEETING 7/24/2024

At the May 2024 Board Meeting the Sumner Cowley Electric Staff made a request to the Board of Directors for support in amending the current Net Metering Tariff for renewable energy interconnections. The board of directors voted to bring this proposed change in tariff to the member owners of the cooperative.

“We’re proposing a revamping of our net metering tariff to encourage right-sized solar installations to protect the integrity and reliability of our distribution system and broaden the participation by our member owners in renewable energy interconnections. This initiative aims to empower more members to embrace sustainable energy solutions while ensuring fair and equitable benefits for all." CEO Coni Adams

The notable changes to the tariff are the calculation utilized in the determination of the allowed size of renewable installation and the disallowance of interconnected battery energy storage systems.
