Residential and Hard-to-Reach Standard Offer Program

The Residential and Hard-to-Reach Standard Offer Program was developed by Xcel Energy to provide an incentive to suppliers of energy services to implement electric energy-efficiency projects at Xcel Energy residential customers' facilities. The Hard-to-Reach SOP was developed by Xcel Energy to provide an opportunity for Project Sponsors who are interested in providing comprehensive energy efficiency retrofits for single-and multi-family customers who meet the income guidelines of the program. The primary objective of these Standard Offer Programs is to achieve cost-effective reduction in peak summer demand.

Residential customers wishing to receive energy efficiency services under this program must contact a participating sponsor. Sponsor contracts are awarded at the first of each calendar year. A Participating Sponsor list with contact information is available on the website under the Residential, Hard To Reach program heading. Customers are welcome to contact the sponsor of their choice.

2008 Project Sponsor Incentive Limit

Xcel Energy will review the project applications from potential Project Sponsors on a first-come, first-served basis until all SOP incentive funds have been reserved. Submitting an application does not guarantee a reservation of funds.
