THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM
<br /> Th: Utility provides power to the cities of Elk River, Otsego, and Dayton and surrounding rural areas.
<br /> Th: Utility purchases all of its power, and generates a small portion of power for sale through purchase
<br /> po er agreements, power from its landfill operations. The current power provider through September
<br /> 201: is Great River Energy, and starting October 2018 the power provider will be Minnesota Municipal
<br /> Po er Agency. The Utility distributes electricity at not-for-profit rates as a public service similar to other
<br /> public services such as the police department, schools, fire department, and local library. The Utility is
<br /> co munity-based, which means that utility revenues stay close to home to keep the local economy strong,
<br /> pro' ote business participation, and ensure response to community needs. The tradition of local
<br /> ow ership and local decisions results in lower electricity rates for the customers. The Utility serves the
<br /> intel ests of the community and plans to remain the first choice for electricity in the future.
