Elk River Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway .P.O. Box 430 Phone: 763.441.2020 Elk River,MN 55330-0430 www.elkriverutilities.com • IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CYCLED AIR CONDITIONING CREDITS AND TERMINATION Dear Sir or Madam: Effective February 14, 2017, the Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) Commission placed the Cycled Air Conditioning (Cycled AC) on a moratorium.The Cycled AC program as well as the other direct load control programs (dual fuel, storage water heat, and storage space heat), will be closed to new participation. On October 1, 2018, these programs will be terminated for existing participants. Until the program is terminated, the credit that existing participants will receive for participating in this program will be reduced from $45/summer to $30. Customers will receive a $6 credit/month during the billing months of June—October. The reduction in the monthly credit and program moratorium of the cycled AC and other load control programs is a result of changing technology and costs to upgrade existing technology, and the changes in wholesale energy markets. Existing participants will continue to participate in the program until the termination date (October 1, 2018) or until the customer account is closed. If there is a transfer in service, the program will be terminated for that address and will not be available for the new customer. Currently ERMU offers over 20 programs to help customers use energy and water wisely. ERMU will continue to offer efficiency and conservation programs. ERMU will evaluate new and changes to existing programs to continue to provide programs that are cost effective but do not depend on direct load control of customers electrical equipment. If you have any questions please feel free to contact ERMU at (763) 441-2020. Sincerely, • - tioetted7- Thomas J.
