This is unacceptable

We have been without power for 6 days, and a total of 10 days for the 22 days of December. In all instances of power outages we have not received any clear communications from Xcel. We have lost thousands of dollars from spoiled food, to alternative heating, to lost wages, and there is no end in sight. As much as I understand the need for fire prevention and safety, there is no transparency on when they will be needed, and with our town having 50-60mph wind gusts daily, these recent weeks have led us to believe that we won’t have power for almost half of the winter. Something needs to change
