SBA Redefines “Small Utilities”

Under the new definition approved by the Small Business Administration (SBA) effective January 22, 2013, all distribution coops and most generation & transmission (G&T) coops will be considered “small utilities” with lightened legal and regulatory responsibilities.  The new definition will classify as “small” a distribution coop of 1,000 employees or less and G&T coops with fossil generation and 750 employees or less.  To learn more about how this rulemaking may affect your business, click here.
