Proceeding No. 26AL-0159E
We filed our annual Revenue Decoupling Adjustment proposal with state regulators. Decoupling is used to separate a utility’s revenue from its sales of energy. With decoupling, revenue is no longer directly tied to the amount of energy sold, and it’s a way to encourage conservation and energy efficiency. If approved, starting June 1, 2026, a typical Residential customer electric bill will increase $0.36 per month, or 0.35%, for four months (through September 2026). A typical Small Commercial customer electric bill will increase $1.24 per month, or 0.88%, for twelve months (through May 2027).

Proceeding No. 25AL-0538G
Over the past two years, we’ve made significant natural gas system investments to strengthen pipeline integrity, enhance leak detection and modernize infrastructure to protect communities from extreme weather and other risks. On Dec. 29, 2025, we made a proposal to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to adjust natural gas rates to fund these critical investments. If rates are approved as filed, an average residential customer can expect their monthly natural gas bill to increase about 11.4%, or $7.59, starting in October 2026. The average small business customer will see an increase of 13.0%, or about $36.47 per month.
