In the Matter of the Application of Northern States Power Company, dba Xcel Energy, for Authority to Increase Rates for Electric Service in the State of Minnesota.
1. Does the information contained in Xcel’s March 3, 2021 letter materially change the Commission’s rationale for approving Xcel’s 2021 True-up Proposal?
2. Should the Commission reconsider its approval of Xcel's 2021 True-up Proposal in its April 2, 2021 Order Approving True-ups With Modifications And Requiring Xcel To Withdraw Its Notice Of Change In Rates And Interim Rates Petition and require Xcel to instead proceed with its rate case? (PUC: Alonso)
The Commission has the authority to accept or decline a petition for reconsideration with or without a hearing or oral argument (Minnesota Rules 7829.3000, Subpart 6) In other words, a decision on a petition for reconsideration can be made without taking oral comments at the Commission meeting.
