Estimated Cost
-
GenerLink device: Approximately $910 to $1,545, depending on the model selected.

Whether you are preparing for wildfire season, live in an area where outages may take longer to restore, or simply want added peace of mind, GenerLink™ may be an option to consider.
A GenerLink™ Transfer Switch is installed behind the electric meter and allows a compatible portable generator to connect to your home’s electrical system. The device helps reduce the need for extension cords and helps prevent generator power from backfeeding onto CCEC’s distribution system during an outage.
CCEC’s program provides a standard process for members who want to purchase a GenerLink™ device and have it installed by CCEC. Participation is voluntary, and members are responsible for determining whether GenerLink™ and their portable generator are right for their home and needs.
Who May Benefit
A GenerLink™ may be especially helpful for members who:
- Live in rural areas or at or near the end of a distribution line.
- May experience longer outage restoration times.
- Live in areas where Public Safety Power Shutoffs may occur.
- Rely on power-sensitive medical equipment.
- Want a more convenient way to connect a compatible portable generator during an outage.
