Ji <br />Elk River -~ <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />August 4, 2008 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />~•~ <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Subject: Shared Emergency Substation Agreement <br />We constructed the Otsego Substation in 2006. This location is shared with Wright-Hennepin <br />Co-op who also has a substation at this location. Due to operational and maintenance issues, <br />these substation transformers on 69kv equipment are on occasion taken out of service. In order <br />to continue to serve the load we either must have distribution feeder ties to other substation or <br />have a shared substation agreement for emergency use. <br />Attached is a proposed Shared Emergency Substation Agreement between us and Wright- <br />Hennepin. We either need this agreement or build another feeder to Otsego at an approximate <br />cost of $350,000. These shared substation agreements make good sense and staff recommends <br />authorization to execute this agreement. <br />
