Project Conserve Phase 2, consisting of 119 <br />participants, was completed in 201 I .The participants saved an <br />aggregated total of 72, 148 kWh in energy, which was <br />approximately a 6% reduction from the previous years' <br />consumption. The 70 participants connected to the Utilities <br />water system saved an aggregated total of 514,000 gallons. <br />Natural gas savings amounted to a decrease in consumption of <br />2% from the previous year. <br />2. Administered rebates for 2,661 residential customers for a <br />total of $49,000. These rebates were associated with energy <br />efficiency improvement resulting in additional customer <br />energy savings of $44,727. <br />3. Administered rebates for 38 commercial customers for a total <br />of $ 132,248. These rebates were associated with energy <br />efficiency improvements resulting in additional customer <br />energy and capacity savings of $233,296. <br />4. ERMU sold over 535,000 kWh of energy from wind <br />generators in 201 I through our Wind Power Program. <br />5. The third party wind generator, which is used by Energy City <br />as a demonstration site, produced approximately 855,828 <br />kWh in 201 I .The annual capacity factor is 14.8%. This is low <br />in comparison to other wind generators; however, this is due <br />to the lack of sufficient wind resource available in this part of <br />the State. <br />r ~~~ ~„ ~, <br /> <br />6. ERMU's landfill gas electric generating plant produced 25.17 million kWh with a capacity <br />factor of 94.5%. This is down from 25.7 million kWh in 2010. This plant produced <br />enough energy from a local renewable fuel source to provide for 9. I % of Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities' customer's needs. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
