U.S.C. 824e and 825e, Intermountain Rural Electric Association 
(Complainant) filed a formal complaint against the Public Service 
Company of Colorado (Respondent), alleging that it believes (1) That it

under the provisions of the Second Restated and Amended Power Purchase 
Agreement (PPA), Second Revised Rate Schedule No. 51, Xcel Energy 
Services, Inc., Docket No. ER05-1248-000; and (2) the Respondent has 
unilaterally increased the distribution loss percentage without filing 
with or the approval of the Commission.
    The Complainant is requesting the Commission to order the 
Respondent to (1) Refund, with interest, all amounts unlawfully charged 
by the Respondent to the Complainant under its PPA; (2) confirm to the

other aspect of the PPA, without filing for and obtaining the

U.S.C. 824d, and under section 5 of the Rate Schedule A of the PPA,
