Additional Consumer Information

Information on Tiered Electric Rates Effective June 2012

Effective June 1, 2012, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) directed Xcel (Public Service) to charge its residential customers using a tier or block rate structure for June, July, August, and September. The first tier is for all electricity consumed at or below 500 kilowatt hours (kWh) during those months at 4.604¢. The second tier is for all electricity consumed above 500 kWh 9.0¢. Since Public Service's average residential customer uses 637 kWh in a month, the average customer will be charged for electricity from the two tiers.  For those customers who need to have electrically powered medical equipment operating nearly every hour of every day, the OCC encourages you to become aware that use of certain electrical appliances (air conditioners, electric stoves, and electric clothes dryers) can dramatically impact your monthly electricity consumption. By limiting your use of these three appliances, it can help to keep your monthly electricity bill low.
