  Uncle Sam’s loan documents require that electric cooperative borrowers comply with federal laws on maintaining and protecting Uncle Sam’s collateral, including the electric cooperative’s grid. One of these federal laws requires that electric cooperative borrowers require and obtain insurance and an application fee from anyone who wants to hook up their personal self-generating electrical systems (solar panels, wind turbines, etc.) to the electric cooperative’s grid that is Uncle Sam’s collateral. So, for instance, if something goes haywire at an individual’s solar farm and it blows up nearby transformers and starts a fire in the 2 of 3neighborhood, the insurance provides a pot of money to pay to rebuild Uncle Sam’s collateral, restore service to fellow cooperative members and compensate for other damages.
