CAS-07_PLANNING CASE NO. 2019-07AI-Jaff, Sharmeen From: Rogers, Christopher C <Christopher.C.Rogers@xcelenergy.com> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2019 3:53 PM To: AI-Jaff, Sharmeen Subject: RE: Contact Info Attachments: MN Fact Sheet.pdf; MN Statute 216E.PDF; rule 7850.1500.pdf; PUC permit.pdf; monopole - antenna pic.pdf Hello Sharmeen, I'm getting back to you on our conversations a few months ago regarding Xcel Energy's FAN project at the Bluff Creek substation. Later this year, Xcel Energy will be installing Field Area Network (FAN) components at the Bluff Creek substation as part of our Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security system enhancements (see attached Fact Sheet). The components include a 125' monopole, antenna and base station within the fenced area of the substation (see example Pic attached). The antenna tower will be for Xcel Energy's exclusive use in gathering data from our customer meters in the surrounding area. The data will be used to support an Advanced Grid system which will provide faster, efficient service and shorter, better managed outages with improved reliability to our electric customers. A fact Sheet describing the Advanced Grid/FAN system in further detail is attached. We've done some additional research in regards to permitting. In January of 2014, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MN PUC) issued Xcel Energy a Route Permit (attached) for construction of a high voltage transmission line and associated facilities — the Bluff Creek Substation being one of them (see page 20 of the PUC permit). Pursuant to MN Statute 216E.10, this Route Permit supersedes and pre-empts all local zoning regulations. Additionally, permits from the MN PUC for certain work including the FAN communications additions at the Bluff Creek Substation are not required per MN Rule 7850.1500. Although no permits are required for the FAN project at the Bluff Creek Substation, our project team is happy to meet with you to discuss further and answer any questions. I'll contact you later this week to set something up.

Last we talked, a CUP will be required for a tower up to 150' in height. We are shooting for that but if we end up needing over 150' will that require a CUP and a variance?

Later this year, Xcel Energy will be installing Field Area Network (FAN) components at the Bluff Creek substation as part of our Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security system enhancements (see attached Fact Sheet). The components include a 125' monopole, antenna and base station within the fenced area of the substation (see example pic attached). The antenna tower will be for Xcel Energy's exclusive use in gathering data from our customer meters in the surrounding area. The data will be used to support an Advanced Grid system which will provide faster, efficient service and shorter, better managed outages with improved reliability to our electric customers. A fact Sheet describing the Advanced Grid/FAN system in further detail is attached. We've done some additional research in regards to permitting. In January of 2014, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MN PUC) issued Xcel Energy a Route Permit (attached) for construction of a high voltage transmission line and associated facilities — the Bluff Creek Substation being one of them (see page 20 of the PUC permit). Pursuant to MN Statute 216E.10, this Route Permit supersedes and pre-empts all local zoning regulations. Additionally, permits from the MN PUC for certain work including the FAN communications additions at the Bluff Creek Substation are not required per MN Rule 7850.1500. Although no permits are required for the FAN project at the Bluff Creek Substation, our project team is happy to meet with you to discuss further and answer any questions. I'll contact you later this week to set something up.

A key component of this evolution is creating an interactive and modern grid that will deliver more of what Minnesota customers expect from their energy company: cleaner, more reliable energy, more ways to save money, and a better customer experience. Our goal is to build Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security —"Advanced Grid" —to provide faster, efficient service and shorter, better -managed outages by connecting the electric grid with new, intelligent energy devices and technologies. The first step in our Advance Grid includes implementing our Field Area Network (FAN). What is FAN? FAN enables a software application The Field Area Network (FAN) is a wireless to regulate devices to manage overall communications system that connects Xcel Energy's control centers with intelligent, integrated grid devices that enable remote monitoring and control of the electric grid. system voltage and proactively prevent power losses across the grid, and helps control electric demand and customers' energy consumption. This software also will allow us to integrate more renewable, cleaner energy sources onto the grid. How does FAN work? Additionally, when an advanced meter FAN serves as the building block for private, is installed on a customer's home, the fast, secure and two-way communication between our substations and field devices, including new advanced electric planned Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). AMI includes many components, including new advanced electric meters for our Minnesota customers. What are the benefits of FAN for Xcel Energy's electric customers? FAN will enable two-way communication between various grid components. For example, intelligent switches installed on high -voltage lines will "talk" to each other over the FAN working to automatically isolate electrical faults and shorten electrical outages for customers. Sensors on field devices will pinpoint a disruption on a line reducing the time it takes to make the repair. FAN enables automatic notification to Xcel Energy when the residence loses or regains power. This will help us pinpoint outages and deploy repair crews in the most efficient manner possible. How does Xcel Energy plan on implementing FAN? Currently, we are working with cities in the metro area to launch our FAN network by installing FAN devices within our existing substations and other Xcel Energy -owned locations. Some equipment will attach to existing towers, while others will be installed on new monopoles. These FAN monopoles are similar to a cell tower, ranging in height from 75'to 120' with equipment installed on the ground level that is attached to antennas at the top using coax cables. Antennas c� Power Coax Cables Ground Equipment What are the other components of Advanced Grid? Advanced Grid is Xcel Energy's long-term strategic initiative to transform the distribution grid into an intelligent, integrated network that securely, efficiently, reliably and safely integrates distributed energy resources. It will empower customers to track their electricity use and help them take advantage of energy and cost -savings programs. The FAN is a key foundational building block for this initiative. xcelenergycom 10 2018 Xcel Energy Inc.

Dennis O'Brien Betsy Wergin In the Matter of the Application of Xcel Energy for a Certificate of Need for the Southwest Twin Cities Scott County — Westgate 115 kV Transmission Line Project Chair Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner ISSUE DATE: January23, 2014 DOCKET NO. E-002/CN-11-332 DOCKET NO. E-002/TL-11-948 In the Matter of the Application of Xcel Energy for a Route Permit for the Southwest Twin ORDER ISSUING ROUTE PERMIT Cities Scott County— Westgate I IS kV Transmission Line Project PROCEDURAL HISTORY On March 9, 2012, Northern States Power Company d/b/a Xcel Energy (Xcel) filed a petition for a Certificate of Need for its Scott County — Westgate 115 kV Upgrade Project, to convert or upgrade 20 miles of 69 kV transmission line to 115 kV capacity. On April 12, 2012, Xcel filed an application for a route permit for the project under Minn. Stat. § 216E.04 and Minnesota Rules 7850.2800 — .3900, stating that the project qualified for alternative permitting procedures as a high voltage transmission line of between 100 and 200 kVs. On April 30, 2012, the Energy Facility Permitting unit of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, now known as the Energy Environmental Review and Analysis unit (the EERA), filed comments recommending that the Commission accept the route permit application as complete, and to process the application under the alternative review process. On May 24, 2012, the Commission accepted the route permit application as complete and referred the application to the Office of Administrative Hearings to develop the record. On August 15, 2012, the Minnesota Department of Commerce (the Department) issued an Environmental Assessment Scoping Decision which included five route alternatives to the "Original System Alternative" initially proposed by Xcel. Consistent with the EERA's October 15, 2013, Exceptions to the ALJ's Report, to maintain a consistent record the Commission will not modify references to the EFP in the ALJ's Report. On November 2, 2012, the Department amended its scoping decision to include an added alternative —the "Highway 5 Alternative" —stating that it meets the identified need and appears reasonable. The Department filed the letter notice it sent to potentially affected landowners on November 8, 2012. On November 9, 2012, the Minnesota Department of Commerce's Division of Energy Resources filed comments recommending that the Commission take no action on the application for a certificate of need, stating that the best alternative for the project would be the Highway 5 Alternative, which would not require a certificate of need. On February 25, 2013, the EERA issued its Environmental Assessment on the project. On May 16, 2013, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Ann C. O'Reilly held afternoon and evening public hearings on the certificate of need and route permit applications at the Chanhassen Recreation Center. On September 30, 2013, the ALJ filed her Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Recommendation (ALJ's Report) on the project, recommending that the Commission issue a route permit to the Applicants for the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative route. She concluded that because the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative does not qualify as a `large energy facility" under Minn. Stat. § 216B.2421, no certificate of need would be required. On October 15, 2013, both Xcel and the EERA filed exceptions to the ALJ's Report. Both parties supported the ALJ's overall analysis and recommendation, but recommended minor clarifications to the report. On November 26, 2013, the matter came before the Commission. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS I. The Proposed Project Xcel initially proposed to convert or upgrade approximately 20 miles of 69 kV transmission line to 115 kV capacity in Carver, Hennepin, and Scott Counties, and to modify associated substations to accommodate the upgrades. In the course of the approval process, Xcel's route proposal was modified to include a route alternative that Xcel acknowledged would also meet the project's identified need, which the ALJ's Report refers to as the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative route. U. The Legal Standard The Project is subject to Minn. Stat. Chapter 216E, which requires that high -voltage transmission lines be routed consistent with the state's goals to locate electric power facilities in an orderly manner compatible with environmental preservation and the efficient use of resources.2 In addition, the statute requires that route permit determinations be guided by the policy objective to conserve resources, minimize environmental impacts, minimize human settlement and other land 2 Minn. Stat. § 216E.02. use conflicts, and ensure the state's electric energy security through efficient, cost-effective power supply and electric transmission infrastructure.3 The Project is also subject to environmental review under Minn. Stat. § 216E.04, subd. 5, which directs the Commissioner of the Department of Commerce to prepare an Environmental Assessment on proposed high voltage transmission lines between 100 and 200 kV and to study and evaluate the impacts of the proposed project and alternatives. Furthermore, in designating a route, the Commission must consider the permitting criteria contained in Minn. Stat. § 216E.03, subd. 7 (b) and Minn. R. 7850.4100. In addition to seeking a route permit, Xcel applied for a certificate of need from the Commission under Minn. Stat. § 216B.243 and Minn. R. 7849.0120. These provisions pertain to "Large Energy Facilities" as defined by Minn. Stat. § 216B.2421. Facilities that are not Large Energy Facilities do not require a certificate of need. M. The Environmental Assessment Minn. R. 7850.3700 requires that the Environmental Assessment include: A. a general description of the proposed facility, B. a list of any alternative sites or routes that are addressed; C. a discussion of the potential impacts of the proposed project and each alternative site or route on the human and natural environment; D. a discussion of mitigative measures that could reasonably be implemented to eliminate or minimize any adverse impacts identified for the proposed project and each alternative site or route analyzed; E. an analysis of the feasibility of each alternative site or route considered; F. a list of permits required for the project; and G. a discussion of other matters identified in the scoping process. On August 15, 2012, the Department issued a scoping decision, which identified the issues to be addressed in the Environmental Assessment, including a project description; a discussion of the affected environment, potential impacts, and mitigative measures; alternatives to the proposed project; rejected alternative routes; alignment alternatives; and required permits and approvals. On November 2, 2012, the Department amended its scoping decision to include an additional alternative —the "Highway 5 Alternative' —stating that it meets the identified need and appears reasonable. On February 25, 2013, the EERA issued the Environmental Assessment, which contains a comprehensive analysis of the proposed project and the feasibility of project alternatives, including an evaluation of the affected environment, potential impacts, and possible mitigation measures. The Commission has reviewed the Environmental Assessment under Minn. R. 7850.3900, subp. 2, which requires the Commission to determine whether the Environmental Assessment and the record created at the public hearing address the issues identified in the scoping decision. Based on 3 Minn. Stat. § 216E.03, subd. 7 (a), and Minn. Rules, part 7850.4000. its review of the Environmental Assessment, the Commission finds that, under Minn. R. 7850.3900, subp. 2, the Environmental Assessment and the record as a whole address the issues identified in the scoping decision. IV. The ALJ's Report The Administrative Law Judge's Report is well reasoned, comprehensive, and thorough. She made some 392 findings of fact and conclusions and recommended that the Commission issue a route permit to the Applicants for the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative route. Having itself examined the record and having considered the ALJ's Report, the Commission concurs in most of her findings, conclusions, and recommendations. In a few instances, however, the Commission will modify the ALJ's Report, as delineated and explained below. On all other issues, the Commission accepts, adopts, and incorporates her findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Xcel and the EERA filed exceptions to the ALJ's Report to make minor corrections. By the time the Commission met to consider the matter, the parties concurred on most recommended clarifications to the ALJ's Report and no significant contested issues remained. The Commission agrees with most of the parties' recommended modifications to the ALJ's Report and will adopt the ALJ's Report as described below. V. Modifications to the ALJ's Report A. Recommendation 1 The Applicant recommended the following modification to Recommendation 1: Take no action on Xcel Energy's Application for Certificate of Need because a more reasonable and prudent alternative (the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative) was identified that can meet the stated need. Because the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative does not qualify as a "large energy facility" under Minn. Stat. § 216B.2421, subd. 2, no Certificate of Need is required for this alternative. Because `load management" in this context typically refers to demand side management measures that balance the supply of electricity with electrical load by adjusting or controlling load rather than supply, the Commission will make the recommended modification. B. Findings 73, 74, 77, and 81 The Applicant recommended the following revisions to findings 73, 74, 77, and 81: 73. The Revised Highway 5 System Alternative runs from the Scott County Substation to Structure #57 near the Bluff Creek Substation in Chaska, en west east along Highway 5 through Chanhassen to the Westgate Substation in Eden Prairie. 74. The Revised Highway 5 System Alternative requires the following: • Chanee the voltaee of approximately 5.3 miles of 115/69 kV transmission line to 1151115 kV operation between the • Scott County Substation and Structure #57 near the Bluff Creek Substation; • Conversion of approximately 5.4 miles of existing. 115/34.5 kV line to 1151115 kV operation from Structure #57 to the Westgate Substation: • Expansion of the existing Bluff Creek Substation to accommodate four rows of 115 kV breakers and a new 115-69 kV transformer, • Construction of a new 69 kV transmission line from the Bluff Creek Substation to Structure #57; • Upgrading of the Westgate Substation 115-69 kV transformer to 112 MVA; • Installation of new 115 kV terminations at the Scott County and Westgate Substations; • Modifications of the transmission line at Westgate, Bluff Creek, and Scott County Substations; • Installation of a new 3.6 mile 34.5 kV distribution line from the Westgate Substation; • Construction of approximately 900 feet of new 115 kV tap lines (two double circuit lines at 450 feet each) at the Bluff Creek Substation: Installation of a new 115-34.5 kV transformer at Bluff Creek Substation or another area substation and • Upgrading of a small section of conductor on the Westgate — Deephaven 69 kV transmission line. 77. In addition, the 69 kV line is currently loaded to 60 MVA which is near its capacity limit of 68 MVA. Assuming a reasonable one percent load growth in the area, the line will reach capacity in 10 to 15 years. When the line is rebuilt, it may be rebuilt at I IS kV. If rebuilt at 69 kV, larger conductors, and larger structures to support the weight of these conductors, will likely be needed. If the existing 69 kV line is rebuilt to a higher thaa69 kV capacity, it is expected that this rebuilt line will meet the load -serving needs of the area for the next 40 years. If the 69 kV line is rebuilt to a higher 69 kV capacity line (as opposed to a 115 kV line), it will fall outside state permitting requirements under which the current Route Permit and Certificate of Need Application processes are operating. 81. In comparing the future transmission expansion capability of the Original System Alternative and the Revised Highway 5 Alternative, the Original System Alternative better positions the transmission system to accommodate future load growth because it: (1) selves delays the need to rebuild the 69 kV looms until approximately 2023 due to either overloading or age and condition; and (2) provides more opportunities to further expand the 115 kV transmission system. The Commission concludes that the revisions more accurately reflect the location and other features of the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative, and therefore will make the recommended modifications. However, the Commission will require the Applicant to obtain Commission approval for a minor alteration if the addition of a transformer would require expansion of a substation other than (1) within the City of Chaska or (2) within the existing footprints of area substations. C. Finding 80 The Applicant recommended a technical correction to the ALJ's finding concerning the net present value per MW served of the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative. However, because the estimate of the project's costs is accurate only to 1-30% accuracy, the Commission reaches a different conclusion, and declines to adopt fording 80. With the wide degree of latitude for the accuracy of the project cost projections, it is not possible to draw a statistically significant conclusion about the relative costs of the project alternatives. The Commission therefore does not adopt the ALJ's findings, such as finding 80, to the extent that they indicate a difference on cost benefits between the Original System Alternative and the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative. D. Finding 82 The EERA recommended the following deletion to avoid misunderstandings concerning the nature of future upgrade options in the project area: 82. The majority of the load -serving transmission lines in the Twin Cities metropolitan area are 115 kV lines and the major substations in the Project area are primarily 34.5/115 kV capacity.156 The Revised Highway 5 System Alternative leaves in place the existing 69 kV line between Structure #57 and the Excelsior, Deephaven, and Westgate Substations.157 As a result, the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative creates an isolated 69 kV transmission line in this part of the metropolitan area.15a Amy fiaiam expansion ef the The Commission agrees that the deletion adds needed clarity, and so will adopt the modification. The Commission will f alber amend the finding to include the following additional paragraph, also for clarity and to better reflect the record: 0 If the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative is selected, upgrade options in the Project area may include upgrading the 69 kV loop to a 115 kV capacity. E. Finding 93 The Commission modifies finding 93 as follows: 93. In addition to expanding the Bluff Creek Substation, the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative requires construction of 3.6 miles of additional 34.5 kV feeder line facilities. In its reply comments on the Certificate of Need submitted on January 9. 2013, Xcel Energy provided a cost estimate of $1.5 million for this 34.5 kV line as part of an engineering study addendum. As no route was developed for this line at that time, this cost estimate assumed a half overhead and half underground design. Xcel Energy updated this cost estimate in its post -hearing brief, submitted in July 2013. In its post -hearing brief, Xcel Energy provided a $1.7 million estimate for an underground design and a $800,000 estimate for an overhead design alone a proposed route that generally follows Highway 5. This modification incorporates additional language proposed by the Applicant, because it is accurate and clarifies the applicant's evaluation of the subject of the finding. The modified finding also replaces "distribution line and transmission facilities" with "feeder line facilities" for clarity and to more closely conform to the record. F. Finding 101 The Applicant proposed the following clarification, which the Commission concurs in and will therefore adopt: 101. In fespemeitsyost-hearing brief, Xcel Energy explained that its standard construction is above -ground but that it could underground the 3.6 miles of distribution line as a mitigation measure. Xcel Energy stated that if a municipality required such underground construction via local ordinance, such municipality could be responsible for the cost difference between the overhead and underground construction. In its post -hearing brief. Xcel Energy provided updated cost estimates which included $1.7 million for underground and $800,000 for above -ground construction or a cost difference of, "approximately $900,000.00." G. Finding 102 The Commission will adopt the following modification to Finding 102, to more accurately and clearly reflect the record: 102. At the May 4. 2013 Public Hhearing, an Xcel Energy representative stated that in their January 9.2013 Reply Comments, it -the engineering study addendum included in-its-erigk+ela cost estimate for the 34.5 W distribution line that will be constructed as part of the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative but did not indicate whether the figure included the cost of any undergrounding the ees4efIMdeFgF@tMdifigh8l of the 3.6 miles efdisttibutiea line. distribution ,:_.. •.,.:.. esti ffmite The applicant indicated at the Public Hearine that the original cost was $1.5 million, Thus, to H. Finding 103 The Commission does not adopt Finding 103, because the finding refers to the initial construction cost of an earlier version of the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative. Figures cited in the finding have since been updated, and the finding is no longer relevant or necessary. I. Finding 109 The Commission does not adopt Finding 109 because it does not reflect an apples -to -apples comparison of project costs, and because it is not necessary to support the conclusions reached herein. The AIJ's finding does not reflect a cost comparison that includes the avoided cost of a replacement of the 69kV loop in approximately 2023. J. Finding 114 The Applicant recommends the following modification: 114. The Highway 5 Proponents assert that the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative is the more logical and economical choice for addressing the increased need for energy in the southwestern metropolitan area for the following reasons: • The growth and development in the southwest suburbs, which has resulted in the increased demand for electricity, has occurred mainly in the communities along Highway 5 (Chanhassen and Eden Prairie), as opposed to the fiilly-developed and established areas of Excelsior, Deephaven, and Greenwood. Demand loads for the Excelsior and Greeaweed-Deephaven Substations have decreased in recent years. Accordingly, the energy facilities necessary to accommodate the increased need should be placed in, and impact most, the areas of increased growth. • Upgrades to the Excelsior and GFeeawee&D_g,mhaven Substations, required by the Original System Alternative, would negatively affect residential neighborhoods; whereas expansion of the Bluff Creek Substation (as required by the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative) would occur in a largely commercial/industrial area. The Commission agrees that the modification more accurately reflects the record, and therefore adopts it. K. l5nding 124 The Applicant recommends the following modification: 124. The Highway 5 Opponents argue that Xcel Energy represented at the public hearing that it included in its budget for the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative half of the cost of burying the 3.6 miles of distribution lines. At the Maypublic hearings. Xcel Energy asserted that the cost of the 34.5 kV line used in the en mgneering studv addendum was $1.5 million which assumed a half overhead and half underground design. 34m, it svenld ees! distfibxHea line—e StIm that is net signifieafit in eempafisen to the evffall Rest of the Pfejeet. The Highway 5 Opponents assert that Xcel Energy vacillated on its position on this element of the Project during post -hearing briefing, at first opposing the burying of distribution lines and then noting its acceptance of burying the lines as a mitigation measure. The Highway 5 Opponents argue that such a last minute reversal by Xcel Energy is unfair and suspect, and unduly burdens the property owners affected by the new distribution lines. The Commission agrees that the modification more accurately reflects the record, and therefore adopts it. L. Finding 199 The Commission adopts the following clarification and correction to Finding 199: 199. The loss of the Eden Prairie -Westgate 115/115 kV double circuit transmission line is the most critical transmission line outage in the project area, as identified in the application. This line is the only tie between the Eden Prairie 345-115 kV Substation, which serves the largest load in the area, and the Westgate 115-69 kV Substation. When the Eden Prairie -Westgate 115/115 kV double circuit line is out of service, the 344345 kV source to the area is disconnected. As a result, the entire load at the Westgate Substation must be served from the Scott County Substation, resulting in overloads or potential overloads on the transmission lines in the area, and in low voltages between the Minnesota River Substation and the Westgate Substation. Forecast data indicates that an outage of the Westgate - Eden Prairie double circuit 115 W line could result in several 115 W line overloads near Scott County Substation by 2016. M. Finding 206 The Applicant proposes the following modification, which the Commission adopts as an accurate reflection of the record and to remove the use of the term "load management': 206. Xcel Energy, EFP and the DER all agree that the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative is the least cost alternative presented to meet the stated need. All also agree that the Revised Hi way 5 System Alternative is a more reasonable and prudent alternative to meet the identified need. that the demand for. eleaftieity ean be welt mer-A As.-# Affeetively- Highway 5 Therefore, there is no need to further analyze the criteria for a Certificate of Need. N. Finding 218 The EERA recommended the following modification to provide a complete description of the original project area: 218. The land use in the Project Area for the Original System Alternative is a mix of both residential and commercial land uses.4" The Project Area for the Original System Alternative passes through eight nine municipalities (Jackson Township, Chanhassen Township, Chanhassen, Chaska, Shorewood, Excelsior, Greenwood Deephaven and Eden Prairie) located in twe three Minnesota counties Scott Hennepin and Carver Counties).447 The Commission agrees that the clarification is appropriate and will adopt the recommended modification. O. Finding 285 The EERA asserted that because Xcel intends to work within the existing 50-Foot right-of-way wherever reasonably possible, additional impact to flora is not inevitable, and therefore recommends the following modification: 285. While Xcel Energy contends that impacts to flora would be "minimal" in the Proposed Route because it intends to work within the existing right-of-way of the 69 W line-,. Xcel Energy is requesting right-of-way of up to 75 feet for some areas of the Proposed Route.574 This is 25 feet more than the existing right-of-way along the 69 W line.575 Accordingly, there will inevitably likely be impact to flora if the Proposed Route is adopted, as asserted in the public comments. 10 The Commission concurs with the EERA's rationale and will adopt the modification. P. Finding 336 The Commission adopts the following modification: 336. Thus, The cost of batying-all constnuctine 3.6 miles of distribution line in the Revised Highway 5 lute System Alternative is only$200,000.0%$1.5 million. the Highway 5 Route Aktemafi" is the least . The Commission concludes that this modification most accurately reflects the record with regard to the projected cost of the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative —specifically, the evidence supporting the finding does not specify that the line would be buried, and identifies the cost as $1.5 million. Q. Finding 337 The Applicant proposes the following clarification, which the Commission adopts because it more accurately reflects the record: 337. Note, however, that the grepesedR-ot"Reyised Hi hway 5 System Altemative will require system upgrades in approximately 2023. R. Finding 342 The EERA recommended the following clarification: 342. The proposed structures for the new 115 kV lines required for the Proposed Route would be significantly larger than the existing 69 kV facilities in the area.679 These larger 115 kV facilities would be located in largely residential areas along Lake Minnetonka in the communities of Deephaven, Greenwood, and Excelsior.680 As noted by the p "ie-in their commentary, the public believes the scale of the facilities, in comparison with the density of the residential areas, will have a negative aesthetic effect to these neighborhoods.681 Also They further assert that the close proximity of the lines to residences and schools -has would have a negative impact on human development in the area.682 The Commission agrees that this more accurately reflects the record and will therefore modify the ALJ's report to include the modifications. S. Conclusion 371 The Commission does not adopt Conclusion 371. Conclusion 371 contains language similar to the language struck from Recommendation 1, which the Commission modified, and Finding 80, which the Commission did not adopt. For the reasons the Commission articulated in support of its determinations with regard to those paragraphs —to avoid the use of the term `load management" 11 in this context, and because a statistically valid conclusion on the relative costs of the projects is not justified on this record —the Commission similarly does not adopt this conclusion. T. Conclusion 372 The Applicant recommends the following modification, which the Commission will adopt because it more accurately reflects record and to remove the use of the term "load management': 372. Accordingly, the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative is a more reasonable and prudent alternative to the Original System Alternativ ; east- Re-§ised Highway 5 System ltemati:e. _Therefore, it is respectfully recommended that the Commission take no action on the Application for a Certificate of Need. U. Conclusion 376 The Applicant recommends the following modification: 376. The Revised Highway 5 System Alternative includes: (1) conversion of approximately 5.3 miles of existing 115/69 kV line to 115/115 kV from Structure #57 to the Scott County Substation: (42) conversion of approximately 5.4 miles of existing 115/34.5 kV line to 115/115 kV operation from Structure #57 to the Westgate Substation.• (j3J—eenversien construction of new 69 kV line o€ from the Bluff Creek Substation to Structure #57; (344) construction of approximately 900 feet of new 115 kV tap lines (two double circuit lines at 450 feet each) at the Bluff Creek Substation; and (45) construction of 3.6 miles of new distribution feeder line from the Westgate Substation along Highway 5-; (6) expansion of the existing Bluff Creek Substation to accommodate four rows of 115 kV breakers and a new 115-69 kV transformer, (7) upgrading the Westgate Substation 115-69 kV transformer to 112 MVA; (8) modifications to the transmission line at Westgate, Bluff Creek. and Scott County Substations: (9) installation of a new 115/34.5 kV transformer at the Bluff Creek Substation or a nearby substation: (10) installation of new 115 kV terminations at the Scott County and Westgate Substations: and (11) upgrading a small section of conductor on the Westgate—Deephaven 69 kV transmission line. 12 The Commission concludes that the recommendation provides needed clarity, and will therefore adopt it. V. Conclusions 386 and 387 The EERA asserted that conclusions 386 and 387 are redundant, and recommended striking Conclusion 387. The Commission agrees that the conclusions are duplicative, and makes the following modification, which it believes provides the most clarity and precision: 387. The evidence in the record further demonstrates that the Revised Highway 5 System Alterative satisfies the route permit eMerie consideration and factors set forth in Minn. Stat. § 216E.03, subd. 7 and Minn. R. 7850.4100. W. Conclusion 390(a) The Commission will not adopt Conclusion 390(a), which would impose a condition that the entire 3.6 miles of distribution line along Highway 5 be buried underground. The Commission concludes that the cost information in the record is not sufficient to support a determination concerning burial as a condition of the permit. The Commission will require the Applicant to file with the Commission a comparison of costs for the construction alternatives along the Highway 5 portion of the route. X. Conclusions 390(c), (g), and (h) The Applicant and the EERA recommended changes to these conclusions. The Applicant recommended that the conclusions be modified as follows: g nequiFe v,.el E......._...,.

Conclusion With the decisions contained herein, the Commission finds that the Scott County — Westgate 115 kV Upgrade Project Revised Highway 5 System Alternative satisfies the routing criteria contained in Minn. Stat. § 216E.03 and Minn. R. 7850.4100 and meets the goal set forth in Minn. Stat. § 216E.02 to locate large electric power facilities in an orderly manner compatible with environmental preservation and the efficient use of resources. The Commission will therefore issue the route permit to the Applicants in the form attached. Because the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative does not qualify as a Large Energy Facility under Minn. Stat. § 216B.2421, subd. 2, no certificate of need is required. Having concluded that the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative is a more reasonable and prudent alternative to the Original System Alternative, the Commission takes no action on the Applicant's certificate of need petition. ORDER 1. The Commission hereby determines that the Environmental Assessment and the record created at the public hearing addresses the issues identified in the scoping decision. 2. The Commission hereby adopts the ALJ's Report, as modified herein. 3. The Commission hereby issues the route permit, consistent with the modifications and conditions specified herein and following the Revised Highway 5 System Alternative Route, to Xcel Energy in the form attached. 4. Within 60 days of the date of this order, Xcel shall file with the Commission a comparison of costs for underbuilding versus other construction alternatives for the route. 5.

This permit authorizes Xce1 Energy to construct the Revised Highway 5 Route Alternative in Scott, Carver and Hennepin Counties Minnesota, as identified in the attached route permit maps, hereby incorporated into this document. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Revised Highway 5 System Alternative runs from the Scott County Substation in Jackson Township to Structure #57 near the Bluff Creek Substation in Chaska, then east along Highway 5 through Chanhassen to the Westgate Substation in Eden Prairie. The Project includes the following transmission and distribution facilities: ■ Change the voltage of approximately 5.3 miles of 115/69 kV transmission to 115/115 kV operation between the Scott County Substation and Structure #57 near the Bluff Creek Substation; • Conversion of approximately 5.4 miles of existing transmission line from 115/34.5 kV to 1151115 kV operation from Structure #57 to the Westgate Substation; ■ Construction of a new 69 kV transmission line from the Bluff Creek Substation to Structure #57; and ■ Upgrading of a small section of conductor on the Westgate-Deephaven 69 kV transmission line. 2.1 Project Location The project is located in Carver, Hennepin, and Scott counties, and within the cities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Shorewood, Excelsior, Greenwood, Deephaven, Minnetonka, and Eden Prairie and Jackson Township. 2.2 Associated Facilities and Substations The project includes transmission line modifications at the Westgate Substation, and at the Scott County Substation, as represented in the initial application. Expansion of the existing Bluff Creek Substation of up to 7,000 square feet may be undertaken in lieu of the New Substation. • Expansion of the existing Bluff Creek Substation to accommodate four rows of 115 kV breakers and a new 115/69 kV transformer; ■ Upgrading of the Westgate Substation 115-69 kV transformer to 112 MVA; ■ Installation of new 115 kV terminations at the Scott County and Westgate Substations; ■ Modification of the transmission line at the Westgate, Bluff Creek, and Scott County substations; ■ Installation of a new 3.6 mile 34.5 kV distribution line from the Westgate substation; Construction of approximately 900 feet of new 115 kV tap lines (two double circuit lines at 450 feet each) at the Bluff Creek Substation; and ■ Installation of anew 115-34.5 kV transformer at the Bluff Creek Substation or other area substation. 2.3 Structures and Conductors Steel poles with horizontal braced post insulators are proposed to be used for the majority of the 115 kV single -circuit rebuild portion of the transmission line. Other structure types that may be used along the rebuild mute include horizontal post, H-frame, and Y-frame structures. For Segments 7-10, a cantilever design may be used. This design would require installation of a single pole transmission structure with all davit arms and conductors installed on the side of the pole that overhangs the public road or public right-of-way. The steel structures proposed for the 69 kV to 115 kV rebuild will be approximately 60 to 90 feet tall with spans of approximately 200 to 400 feet for post structures and 400 to 900 feet for H- frame and Y-frame structures. This spacing is appropriate to keep the conductor within existing right-of-ways where applicable. The 115 kV conductor proposed for the Project will be 795 kcmil 26/7 Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported (ACSS). The transmission line and associated facilities shall be designed to meet or exceed all relevant local and state codes, the National Electric Safety Code (NESC), and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) requirements. These include standards relating to clearances to ground, clearance to crossing utilities, clearance to buildings, strength of materials, clearances over roadways, right-of-way widths, and permit requirements. All transmission lines shall be equipped with protective devices to safeguard the public if an accident occurs.

The route is described as follows: The Revised Highway 5 System Alternative runs from the Scott County Substation to Structure #57 near the Bluff Creek Substation in Chaska, then east along Highway 5 through Chanhassen to the Westgate Substation in Eden Prairie. The attached official route maps indicate the centerline location of the anticipated transmission and distribution lines. The permitted route width for the project is 200 feet (100 feet on each side of the anticipated center line) for the entirety of the project. 3.1 Right -of -Way The approved right-of-way width for the project is up to 75 feet. The Permittee will utilize its existing rights -of -way associated with the single- and double- circuited 115 kV transmission lines being replaced to the greatest extent possible. This permit anticipates that the right-of-way will generally conform to the anticipated alignment as noted on the attached route permit maps unless changes are requested by individual landowners or unforeseen conditions are encountered or are otherwise provided for by this permit. Any alignment modifications within the designated route shall be located so as to have comparable overall impacts relative to the factors in Minn. Rules, part 7850.4100, as does the alignment identified in this permit, and shall be specifically identified and documented in and approved as part of the plan and profile submitted pursuant to section 4.1 of this permit. Where the transmission line route parallels existing highway and other road rights -of -way, the transmission line shall occupy and utilize the existing right-of-way to the maximum extent possible, consistent with the criteria in Minn. Rules, part 7850.4100, the other requirements of this permit, and for highways under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) rules, policies, and procedures for accommodating utilities in trunk highway rights -of -way. 4.0 GENERAL The Pemvttee shall comply with the following conditions during construction of the transmission line and associated facilities over the life of this permit. 4.1 Plan and Profile At least 30 calendar days before right-of-way preparation for construction begins on any segment or portion of the project, the Permittee shall provide the Commission with a plan and profile of the right-of-way and the specifications and drawings for right-of-way preparation, construction, structure specifications and locations, cleanup, and restoration for the transmission line. The documentation shall include maps depicting the plan and profile including the right-of-way, alignment, and structures in relation to the route and alignment approved per this permit.

The substation has been in operation since the late 1980's and is within the city's Agricultural Estate (A-2) Zoning District. The substation land is owned by the city of Chaska and Xcel Energy holds easement rights to operate and maintain the transmission portion of the substation. FAN is a private wireless communication system that will connect Xcel Energy's control centers with intelligent, integrated devices that enable remote monitoring and control of the electric grid. The FAN system will enhance reliability for our electric customers by providing faster service and shorter, better managed outages. A fact sheet with further details is included for reference. Implementation of the FAN system in the Chanhassen/Chaska area will require installation of a 145 foot tall galvanized steel monopole with a 5 foot antenna attached to the top (150 feet total) in order to establish sufficient two-way communication between the Bluff Creek Substation and new advanced meters for Xcel Energy's customers in the surrounding area. The FAN system will replace an existing communication system that has been in place since the mid 1990's. Per city code Sec. 20-574 (15) and Article XXX, the 150 foot proposed monopole and antenna are subject to obtaining a Conditional Use Permit. Collocation requirements per Sec. 20-1510 do not apply as Xcel Energy's FAN facilities are for public utility use, not commercial wireless telecommunication services as defined in Sec. 1-2. Additionally, Xcel Energy security requirements prohibit collocation of FAN facilities on non -company owned towers. The monopole will be designed to accommodate the proposed FAN antenna and at least one other comparable antenna. Although this design criterion will be met, Xcel Energy security requirements do not allow outside communication providers to attach to the FAN monopole as it will be installed and operated within the secured fenced area of the substation. Additionally, Sec. 20-1510 (3) applies to commercial wireless telecommunication service towers, not public utility services. Additional equipment (H-Frame base station) will be installed on the ground level that attaches to the antenna using coax cables. The General Arrangement plan shows the location of the proposed monopole and H-Frame near the existing Electrical Equipment Enclosure near the south fence line. Placement of all FAN components will meet setbacks requirements for the A-2 district per Sec 20-575 (5) and Sec 20-1505. The following documents are included with this narrative to support the Development Application: CUP Application and other Fees General Arrangement (Site Plan) with proposed FAN components shown Monopole, H-Frame plans and elevation Supplemental maps and example photos FAN Fact Sheet No additional landscaping is proposed since the FAN components will be installed within the fenced area of the existing substation. Site grading is not needed to install the pole, drainage patterns on the substation property will not change and, no new lighting or signage will be installed as part of the FAN project. Xcel Energy looks forward to working with the City of Chanhassen and implementation of the FAN system to better serve our electric customers in the area.

A key component of this evolution is creating an interactive and modern grid that will deliver more of what Minnesota customers expect from their energy company: cleaner, more reliable energy, more ways to save money, and a better customer experience. Our goal is to build Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security —"Advanced Grid" —to provide faster, efficient service and shorter, better -managed outages by connecting the electric grid with new, intelligent energy devices and technologies. The first step in our Advance Grid includes implementing our Field Area Network (FAN). What is FAN? FAN enables a software application The Field Area Network (FAN) is a wireless to regulate devices to manage overall communications system that connects Xcel Energy's control centers with intelligent, integrated grid devices that enable remote monitoring and control of the electric grid. How does FAN work? system voltage and proactively prevent power losses across the grid, and helps control electric demand and customers' energy consumption. This software also will allow us to integrate more renewable, cleaner energy sources onto the grid. Additionally, when an advanced meter FAN serves as the building block for private, is installed on a customer's home, the fast, secure and two-way communication between our substations and field devices, including new advanced electric planned Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). AMI includes many components, including new advanced electric meters for our Minnesota customers. What are the benefits of FAN for Xcel Energy's electric customers? FAN will enable two-way communication between various grid components. For example, intelligent switches installed on high -voltage lines will "talk" to each other over the FAN working to automatically solate electrical faults and shorten electrical outages for customers. Sensors on field devices will pinpoint a disruption on a line reducing the time it takes to make the repair. FAN enables automatic notification to Xcel Energy when the residence loses or regains power. This will help us pinpoint outages and deploy repair crews in the most efficient manner possible. How does Xcel Energy plan on implementing FAN? Currently, we are working with cities in the metro area to launch our FAN network by installing FAN devices within our existing substations and other Xcel Energy -owned locations. Some equipment will attach to existing towers, while others will be installed on new monopoles. These FAN monopoles are similar to a cell tower, ranging in height from 75'to 120' with equipment installed on the ground level that is attached to antennas at the top using coax cables. Pot ax bles Ground Equipment What are the other components of Advanced Grid? Advanced Grid is Xcel Energy's long-term strategic initiative to transform the distribution grid into an intelligent, integrated network that securely, efficiently, reliably and safely integrates distributed energy resources. It will empower customers to track their electricity use and help them take advantage of energy and cost -savings programs. The FAN is a key foundational building block for this initiative. xcelenergy.com 102018 Xcel Energy Inc.

A key component of this evolution is creating an interactive and modern grid that will deliver more of what Minnesota customers expect from their energy company: cleaner, more reliable energy, more ways to save money, and a better customer experience. Our goal is to build Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security —"Advanced Grid" —to provide faster, efficient service and shorter, better -managed outages by connecting the electric grid with new, intelligent energy devices and technologies. The first step in our Advance Grid includes implementing our field Area Network (FAN). What is FAN? FAN enables a software application The Field Area Network (FAN) is a wireless to regulate devices to manage overall communications system that connects Xcel Energy's control centers with intelligent, integrated grid devices that enable remote monitoring and control of the electric grid. system voltage and proactively prevent power losses across the grid, and helps control electric demand and customers' energy consumption. This software also will allow us to integrate more renewable, cleaner energy sources onto the grid. How does FAN work? Additionally, when an advanced meter FAN serves as the building block for private, is installed on a customer's home, the fast, secure and two-way communication between our substations and field devices, including new advanced electric planned Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)• AMI includes many components, including new advanced electric meters for our Minnesota customers. What are the benefits of FAN for Xcel Energy's electric customers? FAN will enable two-way communication between various grid components. For example, intelligent switches installed on high -voltage lines will "talk" to each other over the FAN working to automatically isolate electrical faults and shorten electrical outages for customers. Sensors on field devices will pinpoint a disruption on a line reducing the time it takes to make the repair. FAN enables automatic notification to Xcel Energy when the residence loses or regains power. This will help us pinpoint outages and deploy repair crews in the most efficient manner possible. How does Xcel Energy plan on implementing FAN? Currently, we are working with cities in the metro area to launch our FAN network by installing FAN devices within our existing substations and other Xcel Energy -owned locations. Some equipment will attach to existing towers, while others will be installed on new monopoles. These FAN monopoles are similar to a cell tower, ranging in height from 75'to 120' with equipment installed on the ground level that is attached to antennas at the top using coax cables. Antennas c� Power 1)) Coax Cables Ground Equipment MMO� What are the other components of Advanced Grid? Advanced Grid is Xcel Energy's long-term strategic initiative to transform the distribution grid into an intelligent, integrated network that securely, efficiently, reliably and safely integrates distributed energy resources. It will empower customers to track their electricity use and help them take advantage of energy and cost -savings programs. The FAN is a key foundational building block for this initiative. _cAANI r) xcelenergy.com I ® 2018 Xcel Energy Inc. I Xcel Energy is a registered trademark of Xcel Energy Inc. 118-01.123
