My bill was double and the house is empty-HOW?

Dear Public Utilities Commission,

I am writing to formally request an investigation into what appears to be a gross overbilling of my electrical service by Xcel Energy for the billing period January 15, 2026, to February 17, 2026.

During this period, my bill quadrupled compared to the prior billing cycle of December 15, 2025, to January 15, 2026. This dramatic increase is inexplicable and physically impossible given the house is empty.

With the exception of my porch light and my refrigerator. The washer, dryer, microwave, and electric stove were not used at all THE HOUSE IS EMPTY. Yet, Xcel Energy claims my electricity usage was four times higher than the previous month when I was actually present and using those appliances.

This discrepancy raises serious concerns about the accuracy of Xcel Energy’s metering or billing systems. I respectfully request that the Public Utilities Commission conduct an independent audit of Xcel Energy’s billing practices, as this appears to be part of a wider pattern of overcharging that many other customers have also reported on local social media platforms.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and to a fair resolution.
