West Virginia

Summary: Appalachian Power Company’s standby service is provided in two separate categories for CHP. For systems smaller than 100kW, standby service is provided with moderate standby demand and energy charges. Larger systems must contract on an individual basis with Appalachian to determine applicable standby rates. Monongahela Power Company’s AGS provides standby service to cogeneration systems that qualify as qualifying facilities under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Service is provided at moderate demand and energy rates. Both Appalachian and Monongahela power companies’ standby rates are seen as neutral to CHP.
