WOW! What is Going On at GUS?

The following data were provided to the Wilco Sun.

Year MWs Purchased MWs Used  MWs   Sold
2016                  741,941           629,466                112,475
2017                  969,244           648,988                320,256
2018               1,067,364           678,759                388,605
projected 2019               1,260,200           680,000                580,200
 

This shows that the purchased power is increasing at a rate of 19.3% per year over 3 years.

The electricity used is increasing at a rate of 2.63% per year over 3 years.

The power sold is increasing at a rate of 73% per year over 3 years.

What is going on with these contracts? Why is the city purchasing power at a 19.3% growth rate?

The city contracted amount should have been stable after 2015 when the two wind contracts, EDF and AEP, were in place as well as the gas contract with MEA.

No new power should have been purchased until July 2018 when the solar contract came on line.

The city needs to share those contracts with the people as GUS is owned by the people of Georgetown.
