This item is informational only.
**Estimated Presentation Time 20 minutes**
Explanation
Across the country the power industry is seeing significant changes in both the volume and timing of customer demand for electricity and in the method of its delivery. GRU is no exception. Staff gave a presentation to the RUC, and the RUC requested that a presentation be given to the City Commission. The presentation has been updated to include the current status of GRU's plan to meet the changing demands of its customers while maintaining the reliability of the Bulk Electric System to regulatory standards. All aspects of both supply and demand are being studied to determine solutions that best meet customer needs while maintaining reliability. This effort includes, but is not limited to, central station power generation, GRU and/or customer owned distributed generation, power transmission (import/export), and demand side management.
Fiscal Note
There is no fiscal impact at this time.
Recommendation
The City Commission receive a presentation on GRU's plan to meet customers' future energy demands.
