Found a power factor billing error going back 4.5 years with Xcel Energy in Colorado. Total recovery would be around $18K. Does anyone know Colorado's statute of limitations for utility billing disputes?

Statute of limitations question - Xcel Energy Colorado
Colorado is 4 years I believe, so you might be cutting it close Arnold. Better file that complaint ASAP before you lose those early months.
Derek's right - Colorado PUC rules allow 4 years for billing corrections. Don't wait, file this week if possible.
When in doubt about statutes, always file sooner rather than later. Even if you're technically within the window, utilities love to argue timing. Better safe than sorry on an $18K recovery.
Filed yesterday! Kept it to exactly 4 years to be safe. Fingers crossed Xcel doesn't fight it too hard.
