Volunteers Make Kid Day, Band Festival Special

Publisher, Swift County Monitor-News

 

Successful community events don’t just happen. They take a lot of hard work and dedication. They take people willing to sacrifice their free time for their community, often with very little thanks. While everyone else is sitting back and enjoying the day, they are scurrying around to make sure all the bases are covered and handling those inevitable little problems that pop up.

Xcel officials explain how planned closing of biomass plant to proceed

Submitted by admin on July 14, 2017 - 3:57pm
District 17 State Sen. Andrew Lang, red shirt, and District 17A Rep. Tim Miller, center, met with the Benson City Council Monday night discussing their role in helping the city get compensation from the Legislature and Xcel Energy for the planned purchase and demolition of Benson Power, LLC. The city is scheduled to get $20 million for economic development over four years between 2018 and 2021.

With Xcel Energy’s filing with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission June 30 for approval to purchase the Benson Power, LLC, biomass power plant the next phase that could lead to its shutdown and demolition is underway.

The request also asks that the Power Purchase Agreement obligating Xcel to buy Benson Power’s electricity for the next 10 years be terminated. In addition, Xcel made four other filings with the PUC related to ending the state’s biomass mandate requiring it to buy power produced from wood chips, turkey litter and other biomass.

“The overall goal of all of these filings is the same: to lower customer costs while continuing to provide safe, reliable service,” it states in its PUC filing. “If approved by the Commission, these initiatives together will achieve over $531 million in total cost savings (nominally) for our customers over the next 10 years.”
