Description

SERVICE AGREEMENT entered into on this day by and between Haywood Electric Membership Corporation (HEMC) and (Member). WHEREAS HEMC is in the business of installing generators and providing certain specified services related to those generators to its members; and WHEREAS, Member wishes to retain HEMC to provide the services specified below under the terms and conditions of this agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1.

Haywood EMC is here to provide affordable, reliable, safe services and open communications. Our office is located in Waynesville, with a district office at Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. We provide power to over 26,200 electric services.

Under current law, Haywood EMC pays a 3.22% gross receipts/franchise tax on all receipts derived from the sale of electricity. This tax is recovered from its members through its electric rates, which are designed to collect all the costs of providing electric service to its members including the gross receipts/franchise tax. The member then pays a 3% sales tax on their purchase of electricity. The combination of these two taxes amounts to an effective tax rate of 6.32%.

As a courtesy to our members, HEMC provides the following list of licensed electricians within our service territory. These contractors have each expressed an interest in providing generator installation services to our members. Please recognize, however, that these contractors are private businesses. They are not affiliated with HEMC and the Cooperative assumes no liability for their services. Members are free to select any licensed contractor of their choosing.

Wind and water turbines require considerable engineering and cost to safely install. Wind turbines are placed on top of towers requiring guy wires to secure the tower against the forces of the wind interacting with the turbine. A water turbine is located on a river or stream to harvest the energy of moving or falling water. The water needs to be contained in a pipe before passing through the turbine. Directing the water to a pipe and securing the pipe mandates extensive engineering and construction.
