Members invited to comment on local democracy legislation
At the August 25, 2017 meeting of your electric cooperative board of directors, the adoption of this authority will be discussed. Directors and staff will review the applicable law (MN 216B.164) and discuss a resolution and rules implementing the section of statute. The purpose of this change is to secure local decision-making, not to substantively change the way your cooperative interacts with distributed generation. If you would like to share your thoughts on this law, written comments can be sent to East Central Energy.
