t� t! ' STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> '^`, ice,' OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL <br /> 102 STATE CAPITOL <br /> LORI SWANSON ST.PAUL,MN 55155 <br /> ATTORNEY GENERAL TELEPHONE:(651)296-6196 <br /> May 3, 2011 <br /> Mr. Patrick Boland <br /> Manager of Credit Policy and Compliance <br /> Xcel Energy, Inc. <br /> 3115 Centerpoint Drive <br /> Roseville,MN 55113 <br /> Dear Mr. Boland: <br /> This Office was contacted by Dick Lambert, an electrical engineer, who resides at 800 <br /> Brenner Avenue, Roseville, MN 55113. In addition, Mr. Lambert provided written and oral <br /> public testimony in Xcel's current electric rate case at the public hearing on April 13,2011 in St. <br /> Paul. <br /> According to Mr. Lambert, between 1984, when he built his house, and 1998, he <br /> experienced an electrical outage every year or two. Beginning in 1998, when he began to track <br /> his outages, he was experiencing six outages per year. Between 1998 and the present, <br /> Mr. Lambert reports that his neighborhood has averaged 3.5 outages per year with an average <br /> duration of one hour and 44 minutes, or about six hours per year. Mr. Lambert states that in <br /> 2003, Roseville city officials hosted a discussion at City Hall regarding Mr. Lambert's <br /> neighborhood's outage history with Xcel. Mr. Lainbert notes that Xcel piovided reports shoving <br /> that the SAIDI values,for the feeders supplying Roseville was 248, 172, and•256 minutes for <br /> 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, approximately two to three times higher than the national <br /> median. Mr. Lambert indicates that on April 19, 2010, Roseville again invited Xcel to a City <br /> Hall meeting to discuss Mr. Lambert's neighborhood's continuing outage problems. However, <br /> according to Mr. Lambert, Xcel refused to produce the feeder performance reports like those it <br /> had provided in 2003. Mr. Lambert asks: (1)That Xcel provide Feeder Performance Lists to any <br /> city that requests them; and (2) That Xcel publish a list of the feeders that have a SAIDI that <br /> exceeds the 90 minute median value for North Americanoutilities, along with cost estimates for <br /> • <br /> upgrading the system to bring the feeders to the national median value. Mr. Lambert is <br /> concerned that Xcel is inaccurately reporting its outage durations, which was the subject of an <br /> investigation in docket 02-2034. <br /> I ask that you review this matter as quickly as possible and address Mr. Lambert's <br /> concerns. In particular, I ask that you look again into Mr. Lambert's claim that his neighborhood <br /> in Roseville has substandard reliability, and that Xcel provide the City of Roseville and Lambert <br /> with the feeder performance.information he requests.:In addition, please address Mr.•Lambert's <br /> concerns that Xcel's SAIDI reports maybe inaccurate:: T ask that you send a written response to <br /> Facsimile:(651)2974193•'ITY:(651)297-7206•Toll Free Llnes:(800)657-3787(Voice),(800)366-4812(TTY)•www.ag,state.mn.us <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer Who Values Diversity ()Printed on 50%recycled paper(15%post consumer content) <br />
