FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 23, 2005
RPU TO PRESENT STUDY RESULTS MARCH
29
Data will be used to move forward with power
supply planning
ROCHESTER, Minn—RPU and its commissioned
consultants, Burns & McDonnell of Kansas
City, Mo. and Utility Engineering of Minneapolis,
on March 29 will publicly present an overview
of the results of five recently-completed studies
related to power supply planning. The presentation
will be at 7 p.m. at RPU’s Service Center
Community Room at 4000 East River Road NE, Rochester.
The meeting is open to the public. An open question
period will follow the presentation.
These studies are part of the overall power
supply and environmental options assessment
that RPU outlined to the utility board and the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in
December 2003. The studies include: Phases 2
and 3 of infrastructure planning, a fuel options
study, a site feasibility study of Silver Lake
Power Plant (SLP) for installing addition pollution
control equipment and emissions testing results.
This data and research will assist RPU in planning
and decision-making for future power supply
options.
A quorum of the utility board may be present
at this meeting, though no action will be taken
by the board regarding the studies or any other
business. |
