Advanced Grid Community Playbook

The Partners in Energy Advanced Grid Community Playbook identifies steps to educate and engage communities on the Advanced Grid Initiative. This is Xcel Energy’s effort to build a smarter and more resilient energy grid that will better serve customers for decades to come. 

As the Advanced Grid Initiative progresses, and smart electric meters and new pricing plans are implemented, constituents will likely look to community leaders to help them understand these changes. This playbook is designed to help you know how and when to educate your local leaders, help raise community awareness around what is happening and the new resources available from Xcel Energy, and respond to questions and concerns.
