Wind Energy Info

To accomplish this we must protect the safety of cooperative personnel and our member-consumers, maintain the integrity and reliability of the grid, and establish mechanisms to ensure rate equity for all member-consumers.

Because small wind systems can affect the safety and reliability of the distribution system, we have developed technical interconnection rules that address those safety and reliability impacts. These rules ensure that we can continue to provide you and all other member-consumers with safe and reliable electricity service.

We are ready to help you by providing information and answering questions. We want to give you the tools you need to make an informed decision about a small wind system.

In this section, you will find the following information:

Small Wind Energy Systems
An Iowa Consumer’s Guide, which explains small wind systems.

Ten Steps to a Small Wind System
Walks you through the various issues associated with a small wind system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Answers to the questions that our member-consumers most often ask.

Electric Rate Tariff Section 29
Defines Access Energy Cooperative’s interconnection requirements and standards a generator must meet to be connected to our system.

Questions to ask wind turbine vendors
Things to ask before purchasing a small wind system.

Dedicated to exceeding member's expectations for safe, reliable, efficient service while being a good citizen in our communities.
