TO:
FROM:
ERMU Commission
Sara Youngs —Administrations Director
MEETING DATE:
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
February 13, 2024
2.6
SUBJECT:
Cogeneration and Small Power Production Tariff - Schedules 1 and 2
ACTION REQUESTED:
Resolution 24-2 - Adopt by resolution the ERMU Cogeneration and Small Power Production
Tariff —Schedules 1 and 2
BACKGROUND:
Every municipal electric utility should have a policy reflecting the expectations and obligations
of the utility and customers who seek to interconnect their own electric generation facilities
with the distribution system. For ERMU these facilities consist of wind or solar photovoltaic
systems that are less than 40kW.
To allow for consistency over all municipals in the state, ERMU staff continues to use models
established by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and modified by the Minnesota
Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA) and Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA). The
policies were adopted by the Commission at the February 13, 2018, commission meeting, and
revised policies were adopted at the May 14, 2019, commission meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The policies and rules outline that, at least annually, the Commission will review and adopt
Schedules 1 and 2 of the Cogeneration and Small Power Production Tariff. The two schedules
reflect the average retail rates for the applicable class of customer and the method of
reimbursement selected by the customer owning the distributed generation facility. Attached
are the updated schedules for 2024.
