Strommen Date Received: April 25, 2011 Question: Reference;Judy M. Poferl Direct Testimony, pp. 10 1.17 — 11 1.2 Please state whether and why Xcel agrees or disagrees with the assertion that power outages to customers residing in the Brenner and Millwood Avenue intersection in the City of Roseville has been, and continues to be, a problem for Xcel. Response: Please see our response to SRA Information Request No. 3,in which we explain the corrective actions taken over the past several years to address outage-related concerns in the Brenner and Millwood Avenue area. Furthermore,we have reviewed the reliability performance in this area, and it does not suggest an abnormal equipment situation or problem which requires action at this time. We continually monitor outage information and trends for all areas across our service territory to determine equipment replacement and maintenance strategies, in addition to other programs such as vegetation management. To the extent that issues are identified during 2011 or in the future, a similar process to that utilized across our service territory will be followed to identify and prioritize the necessary equipment replacement or maintenance. We look forward to continuing to work with Roseville customers, and customers throughout our system to provide reliable service at reasonable costs and to address specific equipment and environmental concerns (i.e. vegetation management) as issues arise.
