Xcel's NSP-Minnesota asks MPUC to freeze Minnesota electric base rates for 2027-2028
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- NSP-Minnesota filed an Electric Customer Rate Stability Plan with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission on Oct. 9, 2026, as an alternative to its planned upcoming rate case.
- Plan would freeze customer base rates for calendar years 2027 and 2028; an MPUC decision is requested by January 2027.
- Accelerated recognition of federal Investment Tax Credit benefits from five battery storage projects over two years would offset the revenue need from ongoing capital improvements.
- Other true-up and tracker mechanisms approved in NSP-Minnesota's most recent Electric Rate Case would continue under the plan.
- If the plan is not approved, NSP-Minnesota expects to file an electric rate case in early 2027.
