Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Tom Sagstetter- Conservation and Key Accounts John Dietz—Chair Manager Al Nadeau—Vice Chair Daryl Thompson—Trustee MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: November 17th, 2015 6.1f I SUBJECT: Staff Update DISCUSSION: • Rebate volume has been very high recently as the fourth quarter always has the highest volume. This is also the time of year where companies are putting together capital budgets for the upcoming year and want rebate estimates. At this point, it appears that ERMU will be below the savings goal of 1% for 2015,but 2016 appears to be very good based on estimates and growth in the commercial customer classes. • The LED holiday lighting contest and promotions have been distributed and other organizations in the community are embracing and supporting the program. Interest has been very high and we currently have 6 registered participants. The deadline for entry is December 4t . Judging will occur December 9th through the 12th • The Coffer Dam data center project is still waiting for a final response. The most recent information is from September 20th, and that response was that they have not made a final decision as of yet. ERMU staff and the City of Elk River EDA met with another prospective buyer on October 30th to discuss the possibility of a co-location facility that could be up to 12 MW. • Included in the Commission packet is an Energy Guide that was developed to help ERMU staff and customers determine the cause of high electric bills. This booklet has been in the works for a long time and is now a great tool to help customers and staff work through how customers use, and waste energy, on a monthly basis.
