It is about an increase to the fee Xcel charges, the Pipeline System Integrity Adjustment rider (PSIA). The notice customers received this week is to let them know that we have requested an extension of that existing Rider that was set to expire at the end of this year, said Xcel spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo.
Xcel provided a link for more information in the email, except it doesn t direct the customer to content about the PSIA rider. It takes customers to a general site about regulatory filings.
