ELECTRIC
On December 14, 2004, Xcel Energy filed for Commission approval a Service Territory Exception Agreement between Northern States Power Company, d/b/a Xcel Energy, Inc. and Sioux Valley-Southwestern Electric Cooperative, Inc. d/b/a Sioux Valley Energy. The agreement seeks an exception to the existing service territory near Sioux Falls, SD in order to provide for an efficient electrical connection to a SD DOT "Dynamic Message Board." The sign is located within Xcel Energy's service territory, but because of proximity will be better connected to the Sioux Valley Energy's power system nearby. The location of the sign is on the south side of I90 about 1.375 miles east of the intersection of I229 and I90 near Sioux Falls, SD located in the SW 1/4 of Section 25 of Mapleton Township 102N, Range 49W in Minnehaha County. The agreement will automatically terminate upon removal or abandonment of the sign.

EL04-040 In the Matter of the Filing by Otter Tail Power Company for Approval of Tariff Revisions.
Application by Otter Tail Power Company (Otter Tail) for approval to revise its tariffed Summary List of Contracts with Deviations. The existing contract with the City of Clear Lake will expire on January 15, 2005. Otter Tail states the new agreement does not contain any deviations from Otter Tail's currently filed tariff and therefore requests that reference to a contract with the City of Clear Lake be removed from the Summary List of Contracts with Deviations.
