Colorado Electricity Rate Increases: Escaping Xcel Energy & Black Hills
Colorado residents have watched their electric bills climb steadily as the state's major utility companies petition the Public Utilities Commission for multi-year rate hikes. Xcel Energy and Black Hills Energy have consistently pushed for higher delivery and transmission charges to fund massive infrastructure projects and grid transitions.
The Danger of Time-of-Use (TOU) Rates
Xcel Energy has been aggressively rolling out mandatory Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing. This means you are penalized heavily for using electricity during the late afternoon and early evening (typically 3 PM to 7 PM). Running your AC or cooking dinner during these hours costs significantly more than off-peak times.
Taking Ownership with Solar
When you buy utility power, you are renting energy. By installing a solar system with SunBeam Innovations, you take ownership of your power production. A fixed-rate, zero-down solar loan locks in your cost of electricity for the next 25 years. You permanently escape the inflation cycle of the Colorado utility market.
