NEWS: Xcel Energy thinks data centers should cover full transmission and generation costs.

  • Money talks: Xcel’s newly proposed large-load tariff (for new loads 100 MW or greater) would lock customers into 15-year commitments and charge exit fees, among other requirements. 

  • The company has nearly 3 GW of requests from large customers in the pipeline…but it acknowledged that not all will come to fruition. This marks the latest in a long list of similar tariffs and rules rolled out across the country, which vary in the portion of costs assigned to data center developers.
