ERMU and MMPA have indicated that ERMU would be a potential good fit as a new member of <br />their agency. Confidentiality Agreements have been executed between ERMU and MMPA. <br />Commissioner Nadeau and staff have toured MMPA's Faribault Energy Park and Oak Glen <br />Wind Farm. Staff now is exchanging information with MMPA to further analysis this agency as <br />an option for future power supply. <br />There has also been discussion with Connexus and Great River Energy regarding the current "all <br />requirement" power supply contract. In addition to this discussion of our current power contract, <br />CMMPA and the Resource Planning Coalition RFP, and MMPA, staff will also do high level <br />analysis on other potential agency options. The high level analysis of these options should be <br />considered by the Commission prior to committing further to any one option. The ERMU <br />specific results from the Resource Planning Coalition RFP will be presented to the Commission <br />within the next few months. A letter of intent will be requested by CMMPA as they begin <br />negotiations with the bidders. Staff will work to have high level power supply option analysis <br />results for consideration in conjunction with a decision on the RFP and a letter of intent. <br />
