THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM
<br /> The Utility provides power to the cities of Elk River, Otsego, and Dayton and surrounding rural areas.
<br /> The Utility purchases a majority of its power from Great River Energy, which is located in the City, and
<br /> generates a small portion of power for its landfill operations. The Utility distributes electricity at not-for-
<br /> profit rates as a public service similar to other public services such as the police department, schools, fire
<br /> department, and local library. The Utility is community-based, which means that utility revenues stay
<br /> close to home to keep the local economy strong, promote business participation, and ensure response to
<br /> community needs. The tradition of local ownership and local decisions results in lower electricity rates
<br /> for the customers. The Utility serves the interests of the community and plans to remain the first choice
<br /> for electricity in the future.
