For ERMU these facilities consist of wind or solar photovoltaic <br />systems that are less than 40kW. <br />To allow for consistency over all municipals in the state, ERMU staff continues to use models <br />established by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and modified by the Minnesota <br />Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA) and Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA). The <br />policies were adopted by the Commission at the February 13, 2018, commission meeting, and <br />revised policies were adopted at the May 14, 2019, commission meeting. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The policies and rules outline that, at least annually, the Commission will review and adopt <br />Schedules 1 and 2 of the Cogeneration and Small Power Production Tariff. The two schedules <br />reflect the average retail rates for the applicable class of customer and the method of <br />reimbursement selected by the customer owning the distributed generation facility. Attached <br />are the updated schedules for 2024. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Resolution No. 24-2 - ERMU Cogeneration and Small Power Production Tariff <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />z <br />
