Technology is advancing in every area of our lives, and Xcel Energy is using it to improve the way we deliver energy to you. The next generation of the energy grid will give customers more of what they want and expect—new energy management options, savings opportunities, and a secure, more resilient grid.

Xcel Energy's Advanced Grid initiatives include:

• Smart meters offering new ways to access and track useful information about individual customer energy use.
• Faster, more accurate outage response and the enhanced ability to respond to an outage or resolve the outage without the need to send a crew.
• Data security transferred over a two-way wireless communication network between substations and the customer meter.
• A grid management system integrating newer technologies, giving system operators, engineers and field workers detailed and timely information for fast decision making.
• Power quality management will insure correct voltage levels from the substation to the grid edge, increasing our ability to add more carbon-free distributed energy onto our system.
