Rate case, and we’ll pay for transmission
August 31st, 2025
Xcel’s latest rate case, raising rates AGAIN. PUC Dockets 24-320 and 24-321.
What are we paying for? Focus on what it IS, and not what it may well be next time around! Cutting future renewable develop and a big push for energy for AI is NOT happening yet, it is not affecting rates yet.
A large part of it:
- We get to pay $1.14 billion, or more, for Xcel’s private first-of-its-kind radial line to “preserve its valuable interconnection rights” at its Sherco substation:
- We get to pay for MISO Tranche 1 transmission:
Gee, thanks, Xcel Energy! And MISO too!
