Cabin Creek Hydroelectric Plant Investigation Report

Cabin Creek Hydroelectric Plant Investigation Report

We are fully committed to the safety of our employees and contractors

Since the accident at Cabin Creek in 2007, Xcel Energy has worked with numerous safety professionals to take a fresh look at our already extensive safety program. The review resulted in critical changes to several key policies. Some of the changes included:

• Updating our Confined and Enclosed Space Entry Program;
• Strengthening our Contractor Safety Program to exceed the best practices standards in the utility industry;
• Implementing a Contractor Secondary Review Procedure; and
• Clarifying our Contractor Quality Assurance Assessment Guidelines.

Xcel Energy is fully committed to the safety and health of our employees and contractors. We are confident that we have taken all steps necessary, including revision of the above programs, to avoid further accidents such as that which took place at Cabin Creek.
