3 § 224. Regulations governing exempt electric cooperatives.
4 Notwithstanding any electric cooperative’s election to exempt itself from the regulatory authority of the

12 2.B. Do not choose another electric supplier; or
13 3.C. Have contracted for electric supply service that is not delivered
14 2. A cooperative shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide electric supply service to
15 any customer who will have a projected monthly demand of more than 50MW at any time during a 10
16 year load ramp period. Two or more customers under common ownership of a single entity or affiliated
17 entities and located on one parcel of land or contiguous parcels may be treated as a single customer for
