Cogeneration and small power production

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5787412
A Federal legal presumption in favor of the avoided cost rule to govern purchases by utilities from qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities is proposed. States and nonregulated utilities are authorized to deviate from this rate under certain conditions, and may continue to negotiate and agree to any rate for purchase. On interconnection, the bill would create a Federal duty among utilities to connect their facilities with those of qualifying facilities, subject of course, to the requirement that these facilities pick up the costs for that interconnection.
