Attended the June 4 City Council work session to provide information and receive <br /> input from Council on future initiatives that the ECC can work to implement in the <br /> future. <br /> • Landfill gas plant engine #1 has some wear on the auxiliary driver gear. Based on past <br /> performance, ERMU staff has advised Elk River Landfill to provide a maintenance check <br /> on the auxiliary drive gear in August to determine if excessive wear may cause the engine <br /> to be replaced prior to the January 2019 scheduled replacement. <br /> • Per our all requirements contract with Minnesota Municipal Power Agency(MMPA), <br /> they have assumed the role of negotiating a new wheeling agreement with Enel Energy as <br /> part of their responsibilities as our wholesale power supplier. As part of the negotiation <br /> they will establish a transition plan between Xcel Energy, MISO, and Great River <br /> Energy. <br /> • The 2018 Chevy Bolt has arrived and has been wrapped. The initial feedback from <br /> employees and interested community members has been very supportive. If you would <br /> like to go for a ride please let me know and we can take it for a spin. <br /> • The level two charger has been installed in the ERMU/City Hall parking lot and has been <br /> working perfectly. Having the 240 volt charger is very beneficial for charging compared <br /> to the 120 volt method. <br /> • Rebate activity has slowed a bit, but there are a number of substantial rebates waiting to <br /> be processed. These are considerable projects and have a good bit of documentation that <br /> needs to be collected. <br /> • In the last 30 days the level two charger downtown has had 6 sessions, and provided <br /> customers with 51 kWh of green energy. The new charger in the ERMU/City Hall <br /> parking lot had 4 sessions and provided customers with 41 kWh of green energy. The DC <br /> fast charger at the Coborn's fuel station has had 11 sessions and provided 100 kWh of <br /> green energy to customers. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 85 <br />
