I'm seeing Excel utility trucks going down dirt roads in my area west of canyon Texas. I hope this means the power will be on soon. #randallcounty #texas #poweroutage #xcel #Canyon

While energy bills dip with Colorado's mild weather, LEAP program lead says don’t skip applying More mild weather is making its way through Colorado and we're not just feeling the impacts, but some people may see them too — when you look at your electric bill.

my electric/gas bill was $175 and I barely used the heat this past month. #xcel Did they cherry pick which bills too look at?

Oooh, a strongly worded letter! #Xcel is trembling. Trembling because their arms are carrying buckets of profits.

Are unplanned Xcel blackouts on the rise in Colorado? Yes. Xcel Energy customers reported more and longer power outages in 2024 than in previous years, Colorado Public Utilities Commission data shows.

finally power back. #xcel energy sucks at communication. Meanwhile, Poudre Valley REA, a local NoCO elictricity coop, was amazing. They kept us updated and restored much more promptly. Sadly, Xcel has the monopoly in our hood and they can do whatever they want.

After two Xcel wildfire shutoffs in a week, Boulder weathers the test, but bigger questions loom Improved preparation limited impacts, but back-to-back outages renewed scrutiny of Xcel’s approach to long-term wildfire risk.

Extreme fire conditions prompted a second planned #Xcel shutoff as 100+ mph winds and a small downtown #Boulder fire underscored the risk. Preparation helped limit impacts, but back-to-back outages are renewing scrutiny of Xcel’s long-term wildfire strategy. boulderreportinglab.org/2025/12/19/a...

So frustrated that Xcel’s response to high winds is just “turn the power off.”After more than $1B in annual profits for five straight years, the lack of meaningful infrastructure is inexcusable. Especially after the Marshall Fire.

Thousands without power in Boulder as Xcel warns another shutoff may follow Power restoration could take days as weather forecasters warn Friday’s forecast mirrors Wednesday’s extreme winds.

Another #Xcel power shutoff is likely Friday. About 67K customers across #Boulder County and nearby counties would be affected. Roughly 26K are still without power from Wednesday’s planned shutdown and winds. boulderreportinglab.org/2025/12/17/w...

Ten hours later and they’ve restored about 20K. At this rate it will take over two more days. You’re terrible at your job, #xcel. It gets windy like this every year. This is not unusual weather.
