EXISTING CAMPUS ELECTRICAL SUMMARY
CAPACITY CAMPUS PEAK DEMAND AND XCEL ENERGY Based on the 600A primary meter rating, the maximum capacity of Xcel Energy’s service to Mines is 13.7 MVA, and the campus peak electrical demand for the past year was 6.4 MW. Based on that demand and assuming a 0.87 power factor, Xcel Energy is able to supply up to an additional 5.5 MW of load from the existing medium voltage service.
