Customers
Dear Customers:
The purpose of this letter is to announce a meeting during which Xcel Energy will
provide information related to its September 28, 2007 FERC filing to change the
methodology used to calculate the NSP Companies’ Annual Transmission Revenue
Requirement (“ATRR”).
The filing proposed a new formula rate (Attachment O – NSP to the MISO Transmission
and Energy Markets Tariff), whereby the NSP Companies’ ATRR will be calculated
based on projected data for the current year. As part of the filing, NSP submitted the
proposed calculation for calendar year 2008, which would become effective January 1,
2008, subject to true-up in a subsequent year.
The filing also established procedures under which the NSP Companies will post their
revenue requirement to be effective the following year and supporting workpapers, each
year on October 1 and hold a customer meeting later during October to answer
questions about the calculation. This will also be the first customer meeting pursuant to
the proposed process. This information for the 2008 rate year is posted at:
https://oasis.midwestiso.org/OASIS/NSP/NEW - 10/1/07: Attachment O - NSP formula rate to
be effective January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008
