Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Wade Lovelette—Technical Services <br /> John Dietz—Chair Superintendent <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> February 11, 2014 5.2 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> 2013 Electric Reliability Report <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Minnesota Rules Chapter 7826 Public Utilities Commission Electric Utility Standards cover <br /> safety, reliability, service, and reporting requirements. Per 7826.0100(A), municipal utilities are <br /> exempt from these requirements. However, the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> adopted a number of parts of this chapter as a Distribution Reliability Standard policy requiring <br /> annual reporting on system reliability. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> In 2013, our reliability index numbers remain excellent. These reliability index numbers reflect <br /> the condition of our robust electrical system as well as the superb response time from our local <br /> line crews. This also reflects the local accountability, long term visioning on system design, and <br /> ongoing system maintenance. The table below reflects the number of customer outage minutes <br /> from 2004 through 2013. <br /> Year #of Customers # of Outage Minutes # of Outages <br /> 2004 7773 393,926 84 <br /> 2005 8398 558,140 59 <br /> 2006 8804 314,510 73 <br /> 2007 9163 67,845 47 <br /> 2008 9067 155,768 57 <br /> 2009 9170 46,706 49 <br /> 2010 9207 526,144 77 <br /> 2011 9576 297,359 51 <br /> 2012 9285 71,496 57 <br /> 2013 9285 55,451 31 <br /> 1 NI <br /> rerEeEe et <br /> Page1of4 <br /> NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider POWERED To SERVE <br /> 175 <br />
