Resolution 2009-091 Directing the City Manager to Submit a Request Letter to Platte River Power AuthorityModifying the Composition of Renewable Energy Resources Acquired for Delivery to the City. (staff: Brian Janonis, Steve Catanach, Terri Bryant; 5 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) The Utility previously submitted a request letter to Platte River Power Authority to purchase 96,000 MWh of renewables in 2010 and 2011. The forecasted blend of renewable energy resources for each of the member municipalities is a delivered wind energy component of approximately 42% and 58% composed of supply from renewable energy certificates (RECs). The renewable energy purchases support the City's Electric Energy Policy Goals and the Colorado renewable energy standard. Replacing existing RECs with 30,700 MWh of delivered wind energy would change the City's renewable mix to 79% delivered renewable energy (including the associated RECs) and 21% RECs. If the request letter submitted to Platte River is consistent with the resolution, the effect will be to increase the 2010 electric rate from 9.5%as proposed in the City Manager's recommended 2010 budget to 10.8%. This would also increase the renewable energy premium charge for voluntary customers in the Green Energy Program from the proposed 2010 rate of$0.019 to$0.031 per kWh. The City and Platte River became aware of this opportunity very recently and the availability of the delivered wind energy is time sensitive. Platte River has requested a commitment from the City by September 21, 2009. 20. Public Hearing and Resolution 2009-092 Approving the Harmony Technology Park Metropolitan District Nos. 1 through 3 Consolidated Service Plan. (staff: Mike Freeman, Josh Birks; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) MAV Development Company has submitted a Consolidated Service Plan for Harmony Technology Park Metropolitan District Nos 1 through 3.
