Proposed Project 2 of 2: New Building Project <br /> <br />We propose to construct a separate two-story building of approximately 30,000-40,000 square feet. The <br />new building will allow Xcel Energy to relocate training activities that presently occur at our Minneapolis <br />Riverside Training Center (RTC); establish advanced training laboratories and classrooms dedicated to Gas, <br />Industrial Unmanned Inspection, centralized Safety, OSHA, Environmental and public training offerings. <br /> <br />The new building will allow us to centralize a significant portion of Xcel Energy’s Technical Training <br />operations as well as create operating efficiencies and improve the sharing of resources across our <br />training programs, and the Hugo community. The project includes construction of virtual training <br />classrooms and equips Xcel for operations in newly emerging technologies essential for carbon <br />reduction, and the shift to green energy. If the site plan as shown with the specified parking facilities is <br />permitted, Xcel will also utilize this facility for centralized Nuclear Contract Employee in processing prior <br />to outage operations which occur across the state of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Expected steady state employee use: <br />• 3,000 employees with concentration in the Spring and Fall <br />• 65-150 per day during off peak times. <br /> <br /> If Centralized Nuclear In-Processing remains viable: <br />• 1,500 per year <br />• 300 per day during peak times <br /> <br /> <br />Estimated Schedule (Project 2 of 2): <br />Design & Permitting: Summer-Fall 2023 <br />Construction: 2024-2026 <br />
