Xcel Electric Resource Plan (ERP) Study Group - Ninth Meeting
The Ninth Session will be on Monday, October 25, 2021 at 7 pm.
If you haven't joined previously but would like to see what we are up to, you are very welcome to join. We think you'll find it interesting--and inspiring!! As always, our "Citizen Power" team is doing some really good work!
This will be our last Study Group before we begin doing more general public training sessions in late November for the public hearing which has been scheduled for Thursday December 2, 2021.
In November, we'll begin to make plans for the (virtual) public hearing on December 2, 2021 from 4-6 pm.
These public hearings can have a very big impact on the final outcome of this game of "tug of war!"
We hope you can make it! Zoom details below.
This is intended to be a Study Group where we all help each other understand and think about the material. I'll send out the testimony and topic for the first few times and then we'll work together to decide how to structure the meetings as we dive deeper into what is being proposed. To start with, I'll plan on about a 10-15 minute PPT and the rest of the session will be devoted to discussion and planning for the next session as well as talking about how to disseminate the information.
Topics will include:
Introduction and Overview
Coal Plant Options (including coal supply)
Coal Plant Cost Recovery--How to make it more equitable
Modeling--Assumptions and outputs
Utility scale v distributed solar
Discount rate--why it matters
Methane--How much for how long?
Transmission--Building but not overbuilding
Rate impacts--Say "What?"
Performance Incentive Mechanisms
If you miss a session, don't worry--we'll do quick reviews to help everyone get caught up. Just tune back in as quickly as you can!
7 pm Session--Usually 2nd and 4th Monday
