ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT -Mark Fuchs -Electric Superintendent <br />1. Purchased approximately 264.6 million kWh of energy with a peak day of 53.6 MW. <br />Even with the downturn in economy, the energy usage increased 6.9% over last year. <br />2. ERMU's 2010 reliability indexes are: Average Service Availability (ASAI) = 99.985%, <br />Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) = 94 min, System Average <br />Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) = 80 min, System Average Interruption Frequency <br />Index (SAIFI) = 0.853. These excellent reliability indexes numbers reflect the condition <br />of our system as well as our superb response time. <br />3. ERMU's landfill gas electric generating plant produced 25.7 million kWh with a capacity <br />factor of 96.5%. This is down from 26.1 million kWh and a capacity factor of 98.1% in <br />2009. <br />4. ERMU sold over 500,000 kWh of energy from wind generators in 2010 through our <br />Wind Power Program. <br />5. The third party wind generator, which is used by Energy City as a demonstration site, <br />produced approximately 790,400 kWh in 2010. The annual capacity factor is 13.7%. <br />This is low in comparison to other wind generators; however, this is due to the lack of <br />sufficient wind resource available in this part of the State. <br />6. Lost 9 commercial accounts for a total of 1,095. Added 21 residential accounts and 9 <br />load management meters for a total of 8,471. <br />7.
