Utility reports AMI billing success and outlines future generation portfolio
Summary
Staff said AMI meters successfully produced the utility's first billing-period data with Eaton and that the state reimbursed nearly $20,000 for grid-reliability engineering. The board also reviewed long-term resource commitments including Miller County (16 MW peaking), Power County (14 MW projected), Fremont Solar (5.5+ MW with battery) and internal generation.
Staff reported progress on the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rollout: 20-plus meters were deployed, Eaton and the meter vendor completed the first billing-period data pull, and staff documented procedures so future billing runs can be performed in-house. "Crystal went through, quite a few hours of trying to make this right," staff said, crediting internal effort to validate the first dataset.
On generation and portfolios, staff walked the board through a resource timeline showing current and proposed generation: Power County (14 MW, projected 2031), Miller County (16 MW peaking, later timeline), Fremont Solar (about 5.5 MW with full battery storage) and other smaller wind and hydro assets. Staff discussed transmission constraints and EDAM market interactions; they also noted the utility received nearly $20,000 in reimbursement under a grid-reliability grant for engineering and soils testing work.
