Powell Valley Electric Cooperative (New Tazewell, TN) does not participate in Virginia net energy metering because it is a Tennessee Valley Authority member-distributor.  For more information about NEM in PVEC territory, please click here.  If you have questions, please email Sam Brumberg, Esq. at [email protected]

Please note that, in the absence of a NEM transition, the only customers that are eligible for third-party partial requirements power purchase agreements (PPAs) are nonprofit and nonjurisdictional customers who are exempt from federal income taxation.  A PPA may only be entered into with a registered PPA provider.  To become a registered PPA provider, please click here. When a Cooperative enters a transition, this website will be updated and the Cooperative’s caps will be updated accordingly. 

Please ensure that Sections 1-4 of Virginia SCC Form NMIN are completed and returned to you as approved by the utility before beginning any construction on any NEM renewable fuel generator.  Interconnecting and energizing a renewable fuel generator before receiving approval to do so creates a life safety hazard for electric linemen and is strictly prohibited by Virginia law.
