EILP members can purchase energy from an Iowa wind farm through a contract signed by the Cooperative’s power supplier, Central Iowa Power Cooperative.
Energy provided under this program is billed at the normal rate, plus an additional charge ($2.50 per block) to cover the added cost of acquiring this renewable resource. We will sell wind generated electric energy in 100 kilowatt-hour blocks.
