Xcel's Rate Hikes: Public Hearings- October-November 2022
"TAKE ACTION! Join the fight for energy democracy and say NO to unprecedented utility rate increases! Your voice and Public Comments make a difference:
Xcel Energy is asking for a 21% rate increase on our electric bills over 3 years! In response to an outcry of public demand since our September newsletter, the MN Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has now scheduled in-person Xcel rate case hearings in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Anyone is welcome to come and speak from their experience!
The Minnesota PUC has scheduled in-person hearings and 2 virtual hearings allowing you the opportunity to express how Xcel Energy’s proposed rate increase will affect you and your family. After expressed opposition by the Just Solar Coalition intervenors of which Community Power is a member, Xcel has agreed to add hearings in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
More info on the "reality for Minnesotans and the reality of what Xcel is actually using this increase to do"
