Your Partner in Alternative Energy

Considering an alternative energy system for your property is a significant decision. It's crucial to gather accurate information from reputable sources and understand all aspects of such a project. We encourage you to ask key questions:

• What are the realistic installation costs?
• What ongoing maintenance will be required?
• What are the realistic financial expectations and potential payback periods?

Connecting to the Grid: Safety and Success

If your alternative energy project involves connecting to Claverack's electric grid (known as "interconnection"), it is absolutely essential to contact us early in your planning process.

Introducing distributed generation to our system impacts the operation of our electric lines and protective equipment. To ensure the safety of our members, your property, and our linemen, and to maintain the reliability of our grid, your system must interact properly and safely with ours. This may require upgrades or specific equipment to comply with safety standards and cooperative policies.

Claverack, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association and Allegheny Electric Cooperative, has established clear policies and procedures for interconnecting distributed generation. We are committed to working with you every step of the way.

Every alternative energy installation is unique. Successful integration into our system requires careful planning and teamwork. By contacting us early, we can provide the necessary guidance, ensure proper interconnection, and help you achieve your alternative energy goals safely and efficiently.
