Xcel Energy Services Inc., Northern States Power Company v.
American Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Complaint
Take notice that on February 14, 2012, pursuant to section 206 of
the Federal Power Act and Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and
Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission),
Xcel Energy Services Inc. (XES) and Northern States Power Company
(NSPW) collectively filed a formal complaint against American
Transmission Company, LLC (ATC) regarding the construction and
ownership of a proposed 145 mile, 345 kV electric transmission line
connecting NSPW's facilities near La Crosse, Wisconsin, with ATC's
facilities near Madison, Wisconsin. XES and NSPW request that the
Commission (1) find that ATC has not compiled with express terms and
conditions of the Transmission Owners Agreement and the Midwest ISO
Tariff and (2) direct ATC to enter into negotiations with XES and NSPW
to develop final terms and conditions for the shared ownership and
construction of the La Cross-Madison Line.
XES and NSPW certify that copies of the complaint were served on
the contacts for ATC as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate
Officials.
