Renewable Energy Option - Rider R

Central Rural Electric Cooperative (CREC) members have the option of participating in a voluntary Renewable Energy Program. Members may purchase Renewable Energy in blocks of 100 kWh per month or elect to receive one hundred percent of their monthly electricity requirement from renewable solar or wind sources. A member may not purchase Renewable Energy in an amount that exceeds the customer’s monthly consumption.

CREC gets their renewable energy for this program from its on site solar installation facility located in Stillwater.  

The Renewable Energy Program is a voluntary program, open to all CREC accounts, and has a contract requirement.

The Renewable Energy Rate (“Rider R”) is in addition to any charges the member currently sees on their bill. Currently Rider R is equal to $0.0323 per kWh. The Cooperative may change the Rider R once per calendar year. 

If a member decides to sign up and then wants to quit participating in the Renewable Energy Program, they may terminate billing under this Rider R by giving the Cooperative at least thirty (30) days prior notice. After receiving such notice, the Cooperative will terminate billing under this Rider effective with, or prior to, the member’s next meter read date. The Cooperative reserves the right to terminate this Rider or revise the pricing or minimum purchase amount of the Rider after giving sixty (60) days prior notice.

If a member does not want to participate in the Renewable Energy Program, their service is not affected. The Renewable Energy Program is voluntary and Rider R, if chosen, is in addition to the applicable rate schedule. If the member-owner chooses not to participate, no change will be made to the service and charges the member is currently receiving.
