The charger in the ERMU/City Hall parking lot <br /> had 7 sessions and provided customers with 117 kWh of green energy. The DC fast <br /> charger at the Coborn's fuel station had 16 sessions and provided 248 kWh of green <br /> energy to customers. The pricing at the public charging stations have now been changed <br /> to reflect energy only. The connection fees have been eliminated. The rates for 2019 are <br /> $0.20 for all energy at the DC Fast Charger and $0.15 for all energy at the Level Two <br /> chargers. <br /> • Completed the 2019 updates to the commercial rebate forms. The new forms were made <br /> available to the public on December 28, and look better than ever thanks to our <br /> communications coordinator. The total rebate budget for 2019 is $264,000. <br /> • Participated in discussion with the Drive Electric Minnesota policy work group. The <br /> upcoming year has great potential for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure as. <br /> Phase 1 implementation ($11.75 million) of the Volkswagen(VW) settlement ramps up. <br /> This will be a key topic as work group discussions continue for the implementation of <br /> Phase 2 ($23.5 million) of the VW settlement. <br /> • Began working with Dave Berg Consulting to develop a standby rate. This rate will be <br /> utilized for large industrial customers that wish to self-generate. This rate will allow <br /> ERMU to recover the costs of maintaining the facilities required to meet the customer's <br /> needs should they need to rely on ERMU. <br /> • Staff will work to meet with key commercial customers over the next couple weeks to <br /> discuss the new rates for 2019. <br /> • ERMU received notice that Prime Advertising&Design received a national award for <br /> the EV/ER Electric Vehicle Wrap in 2018. The award was provided by Graphic Design <br /> USA. <br /> ATTACHMENT: <br /> • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency-Executive Summary: Volkswagen Settlement <br /> Beneficiary Mitigation Plan—April 2018 <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 104 <br />
