60/90-Day Notices

In accordance with the DSM Biennial Plan Stipulation and Settlement Agreement in Docket No. 08A-366EG, Public Service Company of Colorado agreed to provide 60-Day Notice to the DSM Roundtable of any proposal to add a new DSM program, reduce rebate levels, adopt new or discontinue existing measures, or change technical assumptions or eligibility requirements. For the 2011 DSM Plan, Docket No. 10A-471EG, the Settling Parties agreed to continue to abide by the provisions of the 2009-2010 Plan Stipulation. Our past changes to the 2009/10 DSM Plan are summarized in the "60-Day Notice List," linked below. DSM Roundtable participants have 30 days from the time of notice date to provide comments to Public Service on the proposed changes. Public Service will have 30 days thereafter to consider comments. The deadlines for each notice are included in the 60-Day Notice List. Any party that wishes to submit comments may do so by emailing them to the contacts listed below. The Company will update the 60-Day Notice List with the outcome of each notice at the end of the 60-Day process.

For further reference and ease of comparison we have included a "technical assumption change" file for programs that have technical changes. These are listed below (changes are highlighted in red text and annotated with comment boxes, if necessary).
