In March 2015 Elk River Municipal Utilities and Connexus Energy executed mutually agreeable
terms ona multiyear arrangement for the Connexus service territory within the city of Elk
River’s corporate boundary to be transferred to ERMU.

territory boundary change which needs to be filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities

jointly file the request for the MPUC to modify the electric service territory boundary. Connexus
reviewed and approved that language. This filing was then made electronically.

2020.
