Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Mike O'Neill—Technical Services Superintendent <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> February 9th 2016 5.2 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> 2015 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 2015, 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 2005 through 2015. <br /> Year # of Customers #of Outage Minutes #of Outages <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 /> 2014 9426 243,965 44 <br /> 2015 9449 225,337 41 <br /> INATURE1• Page 1of 4 <br /> Reliable Publico <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T O S ERV E <br /> 101 <br />
