The lower production as a result <br /> of a failed engine and increases in maintenance costs have resulted in a tough financial year.ERMU will <br /> not be making any bonus payments for 2016 production. <br /> The capacity factor of the landfill gas to electric generation plant was 93.68%that lead to the production <br /> of approximately 24.9 million kWh in 2016. That is equivalent to the average annual energy <br /> consumption of 2,580 residential customers of Elk River Municipal Utilities. <br /> If you have any questions,please feel free to contact Tom Sagstetter at(763)635-1332. <br /> Best regards, <br /> -7711.14 . fl i 1/r/ <br /> ,c7 <br /> Thomas J. agstetter <br /> Conservation and Key Accounts Manager <br /> Cc: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> Troy Adams—Elk River Municipal Utilities General Manager <br /> Jim Hamann-Waste Management District Manager <br /> Don Yurecko-Elk River Landfill Gas Plant Manager <br /> Kathleen Heaney- Sherburne County Attorney <br /> PBIAEREDUR er <br /> 11 <br /> I ` <br /> Reliable Pi.
