Generator Back-Up

Generator Back-up Program for Farm & Commercial Customers

Farm and commercial accounts with average monthly demand of 50 kW or greater, may participate in the Peak Alert Program. Customers must be able to curtail their electric load upon peak control notification. Customers with automatic generators rely upon their generator to supply electric power during control times. Control usually occurs on the hottest summer days or coldest winter nights for 4-10 hours per interruption, however, it can occur anytime additional capacity is needed by our power supplier.

A dedicated phone line for meter reading purposes must be supplied by the customer. Load control receiver is supplied by the Cooperative. Customer’s electrician makes connections to generator.

Farm and commercial customers interested in this program should contact the Energy Management Specialists at McLeod Cooperative Power for details on the rate and program requirements.
