Xcel Energy Smart Grid
Xcel Energy’s business strategy has multiple components, including a focus on our customers, people and communities. Our strategy of delivering reliable energy is complimented by our commitment to find the most environmentally feasible methods of meeting the energy demands of our customers. One area of opportunity revolves around the concept of a smart grid. While the industry has various definitions of a smart grid and there are multiple efforts underway that are called “smart grid,” we believe the opportunity to develop a fully inter-connected system allowing customers to automatically manage their energy consumption and enabling Xcel Energy to reliably produce and deliver that energy through real-time, automated controls is now available.
