Application by Xcel Energy (Xcel) for approval to continue flowing the costs and effects of its hedging transactions for years 2002 and 2003 through its fuel clause pursuant to the terms and conditions ordered in Docket EL99-021. The Commission's decision in Docket EL99-021 approved Xcel's proposal to flow the costs and effects of hedging transactions through Xcel's fuel clause with conditions, including recurring annual approval and biannual reporting requirements. Xcel neglected to obtain approval to continue inclusion of its hedging activity in its fuel clause for the year 2002 and now requests that approval and also approval for 2003. Xcel is also requesting that the reporting requirement be revised to now be annual instead of biannual.
