Louisville and Xcel Energy have outlined short-term and longer -term goals and will begin by focusing on the top four short-term priorities for 2018. Additionally, the Parties recognize that we will be learning through this process and may need to update and modify this Work Plan at the quarterly meetings as deemed appropriate by both Parties. 2018-2019 Work Plan Shorter Term Projects (2018) 1.
