Partner with Your Utility; Save Energy and Money

BY THE NUMBERS

For more than two decades, Xcel Energy has helped customers save energy and manage its use as part of its long-standing commitment to environmental leadership.

We offer more than 50 residential and business programs to help everyone from the smallest home to the largest corporation find ways to cut energy use, reduce environmental impact and save money. All are available at ResponsibleByNature.com.

Want more hard numbers? In the last 20 years, Xcel Energy has given 30,000 rebates for a total of $151 million. We're serious about boosting your bottom line.

WHY PARTNER WITH US?

Xcel Energy continues to offer significant rebates and study funding. Rebate programs are tailored to the most common equipment in your facility or even innovative solutions that are new to the market and some study funding levels are up to 75% (or up to $25,000) of the study cost.

The list of reasons to get involved is long:

• Lower energy bills
• Lower operating and maintenance costs
• Increase lifetime savings
• Increase efficiency of operation
• Lower energy-efficiency project costs
  • Faster paybacks
  • Lower up-front costs
  • Higher return on investment
• Reduce emissions
• Prevent pollution

HOW WE DO IT

We offer numerous programs to our business customers because efficiency isn't one-size-fits-all. We have rebates and study funding in areas such as:

• Compressed Air
• Cooling/Peak Savings
• Custom Efficiency (if a project doesn't fit into an existing program, we'll create one for your specific need)
• Energy Analysis/Studies (to help uncover inefficiencies and establish a priority list of projects)
• Energy Design Assistance (new construction)
• Heating
• Lighting
• Motors/Drives
• Recommissioning (a holistic look at building systems)

WHY WE DO IT

Efficiency helps us ensure operational excellence but as a company committed to environmental responsibility, it's also a natural fit. The breadth and depth of our efficiency program offerings prove our role as a national leader. But it's truly a partnership. In the last 20 years, with the help of businesses and residents, Xcel Energy has avoided building 11 medium-sized power plants in our eight-state service territory. We have significant goals in the years to come and a government-approved plan that will guide our efficiency plans through 2012.
