Chaska's Municipal Electric System Chaska has provided safe and reliable electric service since 1914. With a city owned electric utility the citizens of Chaska receive quick response to outages, personal service from dedicated staff and cheaper electric rates because the "profits" from the utility go right back into the City of Chaska's general fund to help keep taxes low.
Power is purchased wholesale from the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency which also operates and maintains the combustion turbine generator in the City. Three electric distribution substations then spread this power throughout the City using primary overhead and underground lines operated at 13,800 volts to the step-down transformers located at all industrial, commercial and residential locations. From the transformer, or the pedestal at the lot line, the customer owned service lines then bring the power to the building. The electric department also maintains signal lights and street lights throughout the City and locates all buried underground electric lines.
