The level two charger located in the ERMU/City Hall <br />parkinglothas been repaired, had 2 sessions, and provided customers with 26 kWhlast <br />month. The DC fast charger at the Coborn’s fuel station had 76sessions and provided <br />1,213kWh. The charger in the ERMU/City Hall parking lot is still having communication <br />issues. ChargePoint has created a service ticket and is working to resolve the issue. <br /> <br /> Staff is soliciting bids from EV charging vendors for two EV chargers. The DC fast charger <br />on Highway 169 will no longer be supported by ChargePoint starting in April of 2023, at <br />which point it will have to be replaced or removed. The second bid is for a level two <br />charger that would be located at the new field services building in the customer parking <br />lot. <br /> Currently there are 21 active residential solar PV projects under review or construction <br />in the ERMU service territory. There is a large commercial solar installation that is being <br />proposed, but it appears this installation requires sales directly to the retail customer <br />which is prohibited by MN State Statute 216B.40. Staff will meet with the customer to <br />determine if the Clean Energy Choice program will fulfill their renewable energy goals. <br /> Staff continues to discuss possible future plans for the energy generation facility at the <br />Elk River landfill. <br /> <br /> The Energy City Commission (ECC) approved new Mission and Vision statements and will <br />be sending them to the City Council for review andapproval. As part of the strategic <br />planning overhaul of the ECC, there will be a work session scheduled with City Council to <br />review possible goals and initiatives that the ECC will work on to benefit the City and <br />community in the areas of efficiency and sustainability. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />161 <br />
