ERMU is working with City staff and the Energy City Commission to purchase an electric
bike (E-bike) to be used by City and Utility staff. The bike will have a custom wrap
developed to promote EV/ER, Clean Energy Choice, and Powered by Nature. The bike
can be used for quick trips around town and at promotional events. The Elk River Police
Department will participate in testing to determine the viability of this technology.
Completed the interconnection of a 5.47 kW solar system on a residential home. That
was the second installation completed so far this year.
The Clean Energy Choice program had great growth as a result of the promotional flyers
sent with the March billing statements. ERMU has added 26 new residential customers
this year, bringing the total participation to 315. ERMU is also proud to welcome our
first commercial customer (other than the City and ERMU) beginning in April.
