DescDairyland Power is an electric generation and transmission cooperative association organized under the laws of WI and MN. The Cooperative, whose principal offices are located in Wisconsin, provides wholesale electric service to Class A members engaged in the retail sale of electricity to member consumers located in WI, MN, IA, and IL, and provides electric and other services to Class C, D, E and Special Services members, all on a cooperative, not-for-profit basis. This provides the basis for Dairyland's exempt purpose. Dairyland Power Cooperative is under the jurisdiction of the Rural Utilities Service which requires Dairyland's accounting records to be maintained, with minor modifications, in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for Public Utilities as prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (F.E.R.C.). Because of this, we do not have our expenses grouped by function as shown on the Form 990.Desc

For purposes of the Form 990, we cannot break out Buildings and Equipment and the associated depreciation.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 1As of December 31, 2023, the Cooperative had various revenue deferrals reflected as regulatory liabilities. The revenue deferrals pertained to favorable results from market credits through transactions with the Mid-Continent Independent System Operator (MISO) in addition to favorable results due to market conditions. In 2023, the Board of Directors approved the creation of a regulatory liability revenue deferral plan in the amount of $15,965,000 of 2023 revenue and plans to recognize $5,965,000 in 2024, with the remaining $10,000,000 to be recognized in 2026 and 2027. Projects include: JPM 2024 Maintenance ($2.29M); System Enhancements ($1.31M); Energy Trading Software ($.545M); Battery Storage Innovation ($1.8M); and RockGen Energy Center Outage 2026/2027 ($10M). This plan was approved by RUS in stages beginning in December 2023 and ending in February 2024.
Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4bAs a result of complying with the 2011 requirements of reporting dividends paid by Section 501( c)12 organizations on Line 4 of Form 990 Part IX, Dairyland Power Cooperative has interpreted this to mean capital credits allocated during the tax year. Because the allocation amount is not a functional expense on Dairyland's audited financial statements, an adjustment of the allocated amount of $19,136,682 was required to reflect the correct audited gross margin for Dairyland of $24,287,286.
