Attachment D Xcel Energy PARTNERS IN ENERGY An Xcel Energy Community Collaboration Memorandum of Understanding Phase 1 — Plan Development Community Contact Name Community Name Community Address Congratulations on being selected to participate in Xcel Energy's Partners in Energy. This offering is designed to provide your community with the tools and resources necessary to develop and implement an energy action plan that reflects the vision your community has for shaping energy use and supply in its future. Participation is intended to span 24 months with the initial 6-8 months dedicated to developing a strategic energy action plan and the remaining time focused on implementing that plan. The intent of this Memorandum of Understanding is to confirm Community Name's intent to participate in the initial plan development phase of Partners in Energy and outline the commitment that your community and Xcel Energy are making to this collaborative initiative. The primary objective of this phase of Partners in Energy is to develop your energy action plan. In order to achieve this Xcel Energy will provide: • Consulting support to assist in identifying potential community stakeholders and constructing or delivering an invitation or informational announcement regarding the planning process. • Data analysis of community energy use and Xcel Energy program participation to the extent that it is legally and technically prudent and feasible. The results can be used to identify potential opportunities to implement plan strategies. Xcel Energy will attempt to integrate data provided by Community Name into the analysis if feasible. • Professional facilitation of 3-5 plan development work sessions with the community stakeholder group to develop the energy action plan's vision, focus areas, goals and implementation strategies. • Assistance as needed in synthesizing the community and program data collected with the vision of the community to identify attainable goals that align with suitable strategies and tactics. • Development of the documented energy action plan that will incorporate inputs from the stakeholder planning team and will be accessible to the community. • Commitment to delivering an actionable and complete energy action plan within 8 months of Community Name and Xcel Energy signing this Memorandum of Understanding.
