Xcel's deal is no deal at all
June 19, 2011 in Boulder Daily Camera

Xcel wants Boulder to pay the wind developer for "curtailment costs" -- these are revenues lost when Xcel has to dump the wind energy because Xcel's load can be met by their coal fired generators and independent generators to which they have contract commitments. Xcel also wants Boulder to pay 100 percent of Xcel's "integration costs" -- these are costs Xcel incurs in managing wind-generated electricity.
