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.
