This report summarizes the analyses undertaken and the <br />resulting recommendations for changes to the existing rates. <br />Average annual increases of 2% in electric rates for the period 2026-2029 are recommended. <br />Additionally, a new approach to calculation of the retail Purchased Cost Adjustment (PCA) has been <br />made. These adjustments are necessary to make progress in meeting ERMU’s new reserve level goals. <br />Specific rate adjustments for each year are provided for each rate class. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to be of service to ERMU through the conduct of this study. I wish to <br />express my appreciation for the valuable assistance I received from ERMU staff relative to the execution <br />of this study. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dave Berg Consulting, LLC <br /> <br />David A. Berg, PE <br />Principal <br />
