Slk River <br /> Municipal Utilities <br /> 322 King Avenue phone: 763.441.2020 <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 Fax:763.441.8099 <br /> March 5, 2003 <br /> To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> James Tralle <br /> John Dietz <br /> Jerry Takle <br /> From: Bryan C. Adams <br /> Subject: Electric Cycled Air Conditioning Program <br /> In 2000, GRE revised the cycled air conditioning program from reduced energy rate to a <br /> fixed $6/month rebate for the 3 summer months. The ERMU, has also changed the retail <br /> rate to reflect the fixed $6 rebate for our 5 month summer period for the new customers. <br /> See the attached rate sheet. <br /> We have approximately 160 customers on the old reduced energy rate and approximately <br /> 140 customers on the new fixed rebate program. <br /> Staff recommends retiring the reduced energy rate and placing all the cycled air <br /> conditioning customers on the fixed rebate. This change will effect customers different. <br /> If a customer uses their air conditioner a lot, the reduced energy rate is better. If they use <br /> the air conditioner very little, the fixed rebate is better. The benefit to the ERMU is we <br /> only have a single program to administer, and we no longer need to read and maintain the <br /> off peak electric meter. <br />
