BOULDER, Colo.—Xcel Energy is asking the Public Utilities Commission for permission to recover $16.5 million from the company’s completed SmartGridCity project by charging Colorado ratepayers.
The Boulder Daly Camera reported Sunday ( ) that the utility filed its request with the PUC after saying the project was finished. The 2008 project in Boulder is helping the utility see what a modern energy grid that distributes traditional and renewable energy looks like.
PUC officials ruled earlier this year that Xcel could recoup $27.9 million of its costs but that an additional $16.5 million could not be recouped until the utility showed it had completed the project.
