I attended, but Commissioner Al Nadeau was not able to attend as ERMU's alternative representative. Customer penetration of MMPA's Clean Energy Choice program for residential customers increased to 2.3%, with a range of market penetration by member of 0.7%to 5.4%. Several cities have also signed up customers for the Clean Energy Choice for Business program, with more cities indicating the customers have expressed interest in the program. The Board also discussed the status of the renewable projects that the Agency is pursuing. Attached are an income statement and balance sheet for MMPA's 3Q2017. The financials have not been audited. • The cyber and physical security assessment was completed by FRSecure in November. An in-person report was given by FRSecure to the newly created Information Security Committee on November 29. As you may recall, this Committee was created as a joint review committee between the Utilities and the City. ERMU Commissioner Mary Stewart was elected Chair of this Committee. The assessment covered multiple categories and was separated into independent reports for the Utilities and City. These reports include industry best practice action recommendations. The report did not identify any immediate critical action items or capital purchases which would require budget amendments for the 2018 ERMU budget. Staff will review the reports and the recommendations and reconvene the Committee to discuss coordination and prioritization on relevant recommendations. A report to the Commission will be provided in spring of 2018. • I attended the second of two 2017 American Public Power Association(APPA) Reliable Public Power Provider(RP3) Panel grading sessions.
