Cash used in investing activities increased by $1.1 billion during 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of two natural-gas fired
generation facilities and increased investment in utility operations primarily at PSCo, including the completion of Comanche Unit
3.
Cash used in investing activities decreased by $422 million during 2009, primarily due to reduced capital expenditures; a
withdrawal of funds, to refund customers, from the external decommissioning fund as approved by the MPUC; as well as reduced
investment in the WYCO natural gas pipeline and storage project. No cash was provided by investing activities for discontinued
operations.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities .. .. ....................... .. $ 906 $ (322) $ 671
Cash provided by financing activities increased by $1.2 billion during 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to higher
proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and common stock.
Cash used in financing activities increased by $993 million during 2009, primarily due to lower proceeds from the issuances of
long-term debt and common stock and an increase in dividends, partially offset by lower repayments of short-term borrowings.
See discussion of trends, commitments and uncertainties with the potential for future impact on cash flow and liquidity under
