FAQs

• What is Operation Roundup?

  Operation Roundup is a voluntary contribution on your electric bill which adds a few pennies each month. The most you could ever donate in a year would be $11.88, but most members see their donations around $6.00 per year. These pennies are added together from all our members, and the Flint Energies Foundation board of directors makes grants to local non-profit agencies who are serving needs in our communities. Since 2001, Flint members have raised almost $2 million for worthwhile community projects. You can read more on our website under the link "Operation Roundup."

• Can we generate electricity to power our house?

  We receive questions from members every week about generating their own power using wind or the sun. While we are happy to tell you that, yes, we are required to interconnect to your home equipment, and yes, we do buy back any excess power.....no one in our service area has completed such a deal. The response we hear most is that no one has yet been able to make their installation financially economic. Generally, we sell power at 8.1 cents per kilowatt-hour. Our best studies show solar coming in at about 25 cents per kilowatt-hour and wind has been above 20 cents per kilowatt-hour when all costs are included. Obviously, the cost of sun and wind fuels are "free" when they are available. All the true costs are in the installation, operation and maintenance of the generating equipment. I read stories every day about electric consumers who have $20 or $30 power bills because they are selling power back to their electric provider, but we are yet to see anyone discuss and include the costs of installation and maintenance in their systems. Which probably answers your last question. It is our opinion that you haven't found a firm selling the windmills in Georgia because few consumers have actually purchased one based on the long term economics.
