STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION Northern States Power Company Case No. PU-22-311 2021 Power Purchase Agreement Costs Compliance NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING July 27, 2022 On July 8, 2022, Northern States Power Company (NSP) filed a compliance filing in accordance with Section I.B.1 of the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement in Case No. PU-12-813 et. Al. Section I.B.1 requires NSP to annual provide a list of new Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) less than 50 MW in size that have been included in NSP’s Fuel Cost Recovery Rider (FCR) during the previous year. This filing states that the North Dakota jurisdictional share of the costs associated with three existing 1.8 MW wind facilities were extended, and therefore continue to be included in the FCR in 2021. The issues to consider in this proceeding are: 1. Are the PPAs least cost resources? 2. Is there other relevant information the Commission should consider? Those interested are invited to comment on the application
