85-1-513. Purchase of power by electric cooperative not agreeing to be bound by public service commission determination. If any electric cooperative wishing to purchase power from a small-scale hydroelectric facility under this chapter refuses to submit to the ratemaking authority of the public service commission established in 85-1-511, then the rate for such cooperative may be determined by the federal energy regulatory commission upon proper petition. The facility shall sell power in accordance with such determination, so long as the rates and terms so established will allow the facility a reasonable return.
