Xcel Energy’s 2017 peak demand – DOWN again
April 3rd, 2018
Once more with feeling, Xcel Energy’s peak demand is DOWN, DOWN, DOWN! From their year end SEC filing: Xcel Energy 2017 10-K
And over the last 17 years:
That 8,546 MW is down 1,313 from the 2006 peak. Xcel is now at legislature pushing hard for free rein on money to rehab its Prairie Island plant here in Red Wing. The same plant that was being rehabbed, got a Certificate of Need, and then they withdrew it saying it wasn’t needed. Oh… and now? It’s not adding up, folks.
