TO:FROM:
ERMU Commission Mark Fuchs – Operations Director
MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
June 9, 2020 6.1g
SUBJECT:
Staff Update
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
DISCUSSION:
Staff has been putting together prices to install infrastructure at Great River Energy’s
(GRE)Refuse-Derived Fuel(RDF)Facilityfor its potential sale. As this facility currently
receiveselectricity fromGRE transmissionlines, it willneed to be switched over to
ERMU’s distribution lines. The current voltage feeding the facility is 2400, while
distribution voltage is 7200, so the switch requires a transformer to reduce the voltage.
Staff continues to work with Kodet Architectural Group on the new field services
building. The new power plant substation transformer, which was scheduled to be
delivered in late October or early November, may not be delivered until February 2021.
We are working with the manufacturer to see what options we have to move up the
delivery date.
Staff continues working with Power Systems Engineering on plans to install electrical
infrastructure to make room for the new field services building.
Staff is going through construction plans for County State-Aid Highway 12 to see what
electric and water infrastructure needs to be moved. This project is scheduled to begin
in July.
