The AES/QF Owner is responsible for executing a contract with Allegheny to receive compensation for its output delivered into the Cooperative's electric system. At the end of each annual period, Allegheny shall compensate the AES/QF for kilowatt-hours generated by the AES/QF over the amount of kilowatt-hours billed by the Cooperative during the annual period at Allegheny’s avoided cost of wholesale power. The Cooperative may allow excess energy generated by an AES/QF to offset energy purchases at another location of the same member as long as the location is within two miles of the interconnection of the AES/QF.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Adams Electric Cooperative (PA) before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
