Private Energy Generation

Customer generation – or private generation – systems are small-scale, on-site power sources located at or near customers’ homes or businesses. Common private generation technologies include wind turbines, solar, internal combustion engines, gas turbines and fuel cells, to name a few.
About Private Generation
Private Generation projects are electric power generators either directly interconnected to MidAmerican Energy's electric distribution system or connected to the electric facilities of a MidAmerican Energy electric retail customer. An interconnection is the connection of electric facilities between MidAmerican Energy and a customer. Private generation includes only electric generators that ultimately interconnect to MidAmerican Energy's electric distribution system at voltages less than 100 kilovolts.
To get started customers must submit an Interconnection application.
