Thousands of Coloradans Locked Out of Their Smart Thermostats due to ‘Energy Emergency’
Last week, Xcel Energy locked about 22,000 Coloradans out of their smart thermostats due to an “energy emergency.” Temperatures reached into the 90s in some areas of Colorado. The affected people had signed up for the AC Rewards program that allows Xcel Energy to control their thermostats on the hot days.
