Pedernales Electric Cooperative - Distributed Generation Interconnection Rates

Pedernales Electric Cooperative credits solar energy you send back to the grid at $0.071921/kWh under the regular rate, or at time-of-use rates (ranging from $0.043481 to $0.161843/kWh depending on season and time of day) if you choose their Time-of-Use option. Your system must be under 50 kW, you'll need an interconnection agreement with PEC, and unused credits expire at year-end.

PEC customers with systems under 50 kW qualify for net metering with a sustainable power credit set by a value of solar study; customers can choose between a fixed credit rate or time-of-use pricing with a required 12-month commitment. Systems over 50 kW receive wholesale energy credits based on ERCOT real-time load zone pricing, and all installations require an effective interconnection agreement under PEC's tariff.

PEC's distributed generation program uses single-meter metering with separate registers for delivered and received energy, crediting residential and small commercial members (under 50 kW) at $0.071921/kWh via a 'Sustainable Power Credit' line item based on a value of solar study, or via time-of-use rates (peak up to $0.161843/kWh) with annual credit expiration. Larger commercial systems (over 50 kW) receive wholesale pricing tied to ERCOT; the program operates under PEC's tariff with an interconnection agreement requirement and excludes those simultaneously enrolled in Community Solar.
