Xcel Energy is committed to helping businesses get back on their feet after being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or civil unrest, and a new program coming soon will help provide some relief to businesses that were hard hit. Small businesses that saw an electric load decrease of 25% or more as a direct result of the pandemic or civil unrest may qualify for a 25% discount on the base energy and demand charges on their Xcel Energy electric bill from Jan. 1 through Aug. 31, 2021. To find out more and apply for the discount, businesses can contact their dedicated Xcel Energy account manager or fill out the interest form at xcelenergy.com/MNPandemicRecovery.
