• Xcel Energy provides electric power; responsible for distribution and transmission
• Prescott Substation is located ~2 miles south of site; two 12.9kV distribution lines run from substation toward site along Hwy 25/39 (can each deliver 2-3 MW to site); the substation has a 10-15 MVA transformer; current peak load is ~11MVA; could handle ~2-3 MW of new demand

Detailed description of dual feed potential (current or proposed redundant service)

• Overview (and map) illustrating dual feed electric service routes, including location, size and capacity of each node of delivery (substation, distribution line, etc.)
