Energy Benchmarking

We are providing a direct feed of whole-building energy usage data from our metered data repository into ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®. After you complete the initial connection steps, we will update your data on a monthly basis so you can focus on the important part – saving energy. To start you need to:

1. Set up an account with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® along with the properties that you’d like to benchmark.
   
   
2. Once you have that set up, log in to the Xcel Energy Benchmarking Portal to establish the energy data connection.
   
   
3. Log back into ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® and connect your account with us.

With your benchmarking data, you can identify energy efficiency opportunities. Here are a few resources to help make targeted improvements:

1. Access national benchmarking resources. The U.S. Department of Energy provides tools (external link) to help you develop a benchmarking plan.
   
   
2. Partner with us. Contact your account manager or an energy efficiency specialist at 855-839-8862 to get assistance with analyzing your benchmarking data and developing the best energy-saving strategy for your business.
   
   
3. Take next steps to energy-saving upgrades. Implement an audit or study, and take advantage of money-saving rebates for energy improvements to lighting, heating, cooling, as well as custom efficiency projects specific to your operations.
