You thinking IOU I think. The coops are exempt from these rules. 

I was taking to the one of the head cheeses at the coop, who is a friend and shall remain nameless.

No utilities in MN are exempt from net-metering, and except for when you are trying to access a rare incentive program, you can install up to a 40 kW system with no limitations on size. Many in our local solar industry are working together to make sure utilities don't dissuade customers or try to enforce rules that go beyond what state law allows. The State Dept of Commerce and MnSEIA are compiling many complaints similar to this, so we can work together to combat this sort of thing. I would encourage you to be in communication with both of these entities.
