Corporate Utility leveraging consumers for their own benefit

Xcel has been allowed to bill consumers who have solar panels for power they can not generate during on peak hours. The kicker is on peak hours are from 5-9 pm and it is hard to generate power with solar panels when it is dark out. In my own situation I generated 500 kW hours for the month of March and used 234 KW. Thus they gained 266 "free" kW. They pay peanuts for the these kW I generate with my solar panels over and above what I use. That is why I call it "free". To make us pay for kW during on peak and then charge the on Peak fee is just rubbing salt in a wound with a smile on their face.


Dear PUC members this is just not fair to consumers who are doing the right thing and you are just rewarding Xcel.


Please reverse this approved billing process.
