RE: APPLICATION TO THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION FOR CERTIFICATES OF NEED FOR THE PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT FOR

ADDITIONAL DRY CASK STORAGE DOCKET NO. E002/CN-08-510

AND

EXTENDED POWER UPRATE Docket No. E002/CN-08-509

Dear Dr. Haar:

Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (“Xcel”, or “the Company”), is pleased to submit to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”) for consideration, two Applications for Certificates of Need (“CON”) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The first Certificate of Need is for authorization for up to an additional 35 dry cask storage containers so that the plant can operate another 20 years beyond its currently licensed life. The second Certificate of Need is to implement an Extended Power Uprate (“power uprate”) project that will increase the generating capacity of Prairie Island by 164 MW (82 MW each unit) to meet our customers’ growing energy needs.

The Commission’s July 28, 2006 Order in Docket E002/RP-04-1752 (2004 Resource Plan) required the Company to pursue the necessary regulatory approvals for the Prairie Island power uprate project. The Commission’s September 28, 2007 Order in the same docket granted a delay of the filings until at least December 14, 2007. The delay was granted based on our request to reassess the impacts of the state’s Next Generation Energy Act of 2007. On December 14, 2007, we filed our 2007 Resource Plan (Docket No. E002/RP-07-1572), which indicated that even after including the

Burl W. Haar May 16, 2008 Page Two demand-side management and renewable requirements of the 2007 legislation, we are projecting a generation deficit starting in 2010. We submit this application as one element of our plan to address that deficit.

The CON for additional dry cask storage is filed pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 116C.83, Minn. Stat. § 216B.243, and Minn. R. 7855; the CON for the power uprate is submitted pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 216B.243, and Minn. R. 7849. Our Application demonstrates that the additional casks at Prairie Island and the power uprate project are the most cost-effective options available, provide significant environmental benefits by utilizing and increasing the size of a non-carbon emitting resource as compared to fossil fueled alternatives, and reduce our exposure to fossil fuel price risk and the risk of future environmental regulations by adding to our fuel diversity.

In support of our applications, we are submitting our initial fee payment of $4,450, for the Extended Power Uprate CON as provided for in Minn. R. 7849.0210 subp.1, and $20,000 for the Additional Dry Cask Storage CON as provided for in Minn. R. 7855.0210 subp. 6 (b) to your attention under separate covers. The Company intends to file the accompanying Site Permit application for the Prairie Island power uprate project in the next few weeks.

We are providing hard copies of this filing to the Office of the Attorney General and are providing hard copies and/or a filing summary to parties per the attached service lists. Additionally, copies of our application can be viewed or obtained from the Xcel Energy web site at www.xcelenergy.com.

Please contact Brian Zelenak at [email protected] or (612) 330-5641 if you have any questions regarding this filing.

SINCERELY,
