ELECTRIC
Petition by Xcel Energy for approval to include Renewable Development Fund costs in its electric fuel adjustment clause. Xcel Energy operates the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant at Red Wing, Minnesota which uses "dry casks" to store spent fuel from the plant. In 1994, the Minnesota Legislature passed an Act which requires Xcel Energy to transfer $500,000 annually, for each cask, into a Renewable Development Fund. The Renewable Development Fund promotes the advancement of new renewable energy sources. Xcel's petition states that inclusion of these Fund payments in its fuel clause would be efficient and is consistent with the purpose of the Automatic Adjustment Clause Statute SDCL 49-34A-25.
