Distributed Generation Information

Warren County REMC supports a mix of power generating resources that utilize traditional means of power generation as well as renewable technologies. 

Warren County REMC offers interconnectivity. Interconnectivity allows renewable energy systems to generate power and draw power from Warren County REMC’s grid when needed. Distributed generation means taking unused renewable energy you generate—like solar or wind—and distributing it back to your co-op so it can be used by other members. The good news is that because it’s your energy, we’ll pay you for it! The advantage of using distributed generation isn’t just more money in your pocket—it also helps increase efficiency by reducing electricity loss along transmission and distribution lines.  Warren County REMC buys energy back from the member at net billing, Rate-Schedule-DG-Distributed-Generation-Rider, provided by our power supplier. These rates are calculated annually based on wholesale purchases at a mix of pricing zones based on the actual avoided costs.  Call Warren County REMC for more information.

Since interest in solar power generation, battery storage and electric vehicles is growing, Touchstone Energy has put together FAQ’s and fact sheets to help answer some questions you may have.  Click here to go to their site.

If you are installing a distributed generation site over 25kW please check out the Wabash Valley Power Alliance website for more information.
