Here it is — no notice yet of a Comment Period:

On page 30 of the report, there’s reference the “Xcel Energy Large Load Studies,” which reveals non-disclosure agreements related to data center energy use, similar to the non-disclosure agreements that city officials and staff are signing!

Given these data centers are anticipated large users, with likely “requirement” of new transmission, shouldn’t ratepayers and landowners have access to this information?

Keep in mind that Xcel Energy has Petitioned separately fora new “large user” tariff, meaning special for data centers, and that is now an open docket. To access this docket, go to PUC’s eDockets HERE, and enter docket numbers to access:

As above, docket 25-99 for the Biennial Transmission Plan

Enter docket 25-289 for the Xcel Energy Petition for Tariff (Data Centers).
