LPEA accepts applications for solar gardens
The La Plata Electric Association board of directors has approved a policy, plan and application for development of Community Solar Gardens within its service territory.
Applications from private solar developers who wish to interconnect to LPEA’s system and generate electricity at their solar gardens must submit applications to the board by Dec. 31.
“Community Solar Garden” references a solar electric generation facility where the beneficial use of the electricity generated belongs to the subscribers of the facility. LPEA members will be able to “subscribe” to the solar garden, or purchase a percentage share of the garden from the developer.
The LPEA board has designated that the “subscriber organization” or developer sell the percentage in 1 kilowatt shares. The price of the “shares” will be determined by the solar developer/subscriber organization.
For 2014, the LPEA board has determined that no more than an aggregate of 2 megawatts of newly installed, interconnected generation can be approved.
The garden policy, application and program requirements are available at www.lpea.coop or LPEA’s offices in Durango or Pagosa Springs.
For more information, call 382-3511 or email [email protected].
