MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
Mazch 20, 2012 3.4
SUBJECT:
Dis ersed Generation Tariff Documentation Chan es
BACKGROUND:
Elk River Municipal Utilities offers a Dispersed Generation (On-Site Generator) / Interruptible
Load Program. This program works in conjunction with Great River Energy's demand side load
management member service program.
DISCUSSION:
It has been determined by staff that our program tariff documentation needed to be revised to
included language defming how incurred fuel costs are addressed. This language already exists
in the program documentation but needs to be part of the Commission approved tariff document
as well. Attached is the revised tariff reflecting the procedure to address incurred fuel costs.
This is only a documentation change and is not a change in the program, costs, or participant
credit.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends approval of the revised Dispersed Generation (On-Site Generator) /
Interruptible Load Program taziff sheet.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Proposed 2012 Dispersed Generation / Interruptible Load Program Tariff
