- Holders accepted will receive the applicable Total Consideration per $1,000 principal plus accrued and unpaid interest through the settlement date.
- Xcel Energy plans to activate Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) across parts of the Colorado Front Range starting around noon Wednesday due to extreme winds (65–80+ mph) and prolonged dry, warm conditions raising wildfire risk.
- The utility will deploy its Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) systemwide, which can automatically cut power upon line contact; outages under EPSS or PSPS may take hours to days to restore due to required inspections and repairs.
- These measures could affect up to 1.6 million Colorado customers served by Xcel (excluding municipal utilities) from Fort Collins through the Eastern Plains and Pueblo region; customers will be directly notified and an outage map provided.
- The precautionary stance follows a $640 million settlement related to the 2021 Marshall Fire litigation, motivating proactive wildfire ignition avoidance.
- Xcel is coordinating with local emergency managers and school districts and monitoring weather conditions (wind, humidity, fuel moisture) around the clock to inform PSPS decisions.
- Xcel Energy announced three separate cash tender offers to purchase up to $345 million aggregate principal amount of first mortgage bonds issued by Northern States Power Company.
- The offers cover three series of bonds (3.600% due May 15, 2046; 4.00% due August 15, 2045; 4.125% due May 15, 2044) with aggregate outstanding of $350 million, $300 million, and $300 million respectively, each at a +45 bps spread and no proration.
- Offers expire at 5:00 p.m. ET on December 19, 2025 (Price Determination at 10:00 a.m. ET same day) with settlement expected December 24, 2025; purchases are subject to the $345 million maximum purchase condition, which Xcel Energy may waive or increase.
- SPS filed an electric rate case with the NMPRC seeking a $175 million (16.7%) increase in base rate revenue, based on a test year ending Nov. 30, 2027, with an ROE of 10.5%, an equity ratio of 56% and a $3.9 billion retail rate base.
- The request is driven by capital investments ($133 M), asset allocation and wholesale load roll-off ($148 M), O&M ($36 M), depreciation & amortization ($34 M) and increased ROE ($28 M), partially offset by retail revenue growth (–$204 M).
