Data Centers tend to congregate <br />together do to necessary infrastructure and security concerns. The two data centers in Elk River are located close to each other <br />because land was available, good road access is in place, adequate waste water and water infrastructure is in place, looped fiber <br />optic is available and reliable electrical power is provided with the required capacity. <br />Based on the very preliminary information you provided me, the attached drawing reflects how we could electrically feed the <br />proposed data center. Based upon on actual electrical capacity needed, we have options to utilize other substations also. North Star <br />Access provided fiber optic service in this area and can be reached at 763-262-4170. They are good people and easy to work with. <br />Elk River is in a unique position to service data centers. We have highway 10 going east -west and highway 169 going north -south <br />both thru Elk River. We have necessary water and waste water capacity with adequate distribution and collection systems to meet a <br />data centers needs in the established aareas. The electric infrastructure is well suited to serve any data center complex. The electric <br />generation plants are very close with 600 MW Monticello Nuclear plant and 2200 MW Sherburne CO coal plant just west of Elk <br />''fiver. In Elk River GRE, operates a 30 MW RDF steam plant and are currently constructing a 150MW gas turbine power plant. Great <br />.fiver Energy also operates a newly upgraded bulk 230 KV / 69KV substation in Elk River. The Elk River Municipal Utilities has 1 <br />locations with 2- 28 MVA substations and 1 location with a 28 MVA & 22MVA substation for added reliability that could serve this <br />facility. The substation shown on the attachment is a new 28MVA substation that could also serve this proposed facility This <br />
