TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Policy White Paper – Policy and Regulation Overview <br /> 47 <br />8. Policy and Regulation Opportunities <br />This section provides an overview of potential policies that would support the advanced energy <br />efficiency and energy supply side options described above. In many cases, the policy jurisdiction could <br />be the JDA, the City, or the County. Partnering with entities such as Xcel Energy, AHATS, or the <br />University of Minnesota to help implement existing policies could bring additional resources to the site. <br />Key Takeaways: Policy and Regulation <br /> Investments in electricity and natural gas infrastructure are under the purview of Xce l Energy <br />and subject to state regulation of prudent investments.

Site Energy Jurisdictions <br />While the JDA, City, and County have wide jurisdiction over the site development and its resulting <br />energy loads, any utility energy infrastructure investments would be subject to state regulatory <br />authority. Xcel Energy, an investor-owned utility, serves the TCAAP site for both electricity and natural <br />gas. While the regulatory environment is different for electricity and natural gas utilities, in practice
