Projects

Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation doing business as Xcel Energy, has submitted a Combined Application to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (Commission) for the proposed Lyon County Generating Station Project. This application seeks multiple approvals, including a Certificate of Need, Site Permit, Transmission Line Route Permit, and Pipeline Routing Permit, as well as a Partial Exemption for routing the pipeline.
 

Xcel Energy is proposing additional dry cask storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Prairie Island nuclear plant. The additional storage would allow continued operation of the plant until 2054.

The project would replace existing natural gas burners with dual-fuel burners and install associated facilities to allow ULSD fuel oil combustion during periods of natural gas curtailment. The project is expected to protect GRE customers from extremely high energy prices.

Xcel Energy is proposing additional dry cask storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Monticello nuclear plant. The additional storage would allow continued operation of the plant until 2040.

Xcel Energy is proposing a change in spent fuel storage technology at the Prairie Island ISFSI.
