A Lakewood homeowner says his Xcel bill increased 1,500% after smart meters were installed. Xcel says the bill is accurate
LAKEWOOD, Colo. — More Xcel customers are reaching out to Contact Denver7 concerned about skyrocketing bills after their smart meters were installed.
Not much has changed in Tom Boyle's Lakewood storage garage in the last 30 years, including his Xcel bill, which usually costs about $7 a month. It powers two light bulbs, a well pump, his sprinkler system, and two battery chargers. In the last three years, state regulators with the Public Utilities Commission reported 52 complaints about Xcel smart meters, and regulators found not one of the cases was noncompliant with PUC rules.
"I saw the story you did," Boyle said."And I guarantee you it's not just me and this apartment complex seeing these huge spikes. I had an electrician come out and he tested the box and everything and said, 'Yeah, it's the meter.'"In a statement to Contact Denver7, Xcel wrote:
