BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Xcel Energy wants to limit its energy efficiency and solar rewards programs in Boulder as the city moves closer to starting its own municipal electric utility unless the city agrees to pay Xcel for Boulder customers’ excessive use of those programs.
Xcel Energy filed a request with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday asking for permission to modify the way it runs SolarRewards and a number of energy efficiency incentives in Boulder unless it can reach an agreement with the city.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera (https://tinyurl.com/mqhnajn ), Xcel Energy Vice President Jerome Davis says has to consider the interests of non-Boulder customers in the event that the city creates its own utility and reaps the rewards of Xcel’s investments.
