Refunds on horizon for Colorado solar customers facing utility delays, after thousands waited months to connect to the power grid this year
DECEMBER 1, 2023
In a state known for its sunshine, Colorado homeowners have been struggling to go solar this year.
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission found the utility company facing the majority of customer complaints over delays with solar interconnections was Xcel Energy.
Customers have been frustrated this year that it’s taking months for Xcel to connect their pricey solar installations to the power grid. In fact, in January, Xcel admitted it had a backlog of 4,000 solar interconnection applications, according to public records filed with the PUC.
