Where this data comes from
The combined number is the sum of each Xcel Energy company's public outage data — the same data behind its official outage map — collected on a rotating cycle (each utility typically refreshes within the hour; a company that isn't reporting into our sources at the moment simply isn't counted, so this total is a floor, not a guarantee). When a company posts a restoration time we show it as the official estimate; our independent estimate is computed from the outage's own recovery trend and graded publicly.

What utilities are part of Xcel Energy?
Xcel Energy operates through separate regional companies. The ones we track: Xcel Energy (Colorado) (Colorado); Xcel Energy (Minnesota) (Minnesota); Xcel Energy (Wisconsin) (Wisconsin, Michigan). This is an independent tracker, not affiliated with Xcel Energy.
Does Xcel Energy give an estimated restoration time?
When a Xcel Energy company posts an estimated restoration time for an outage, we show it as the official estimate. Alongside it we show our own independent estimate from the outage's live recovery trend — useful before the utility posts a time. Both appear side by side on each company's page.
How accurate is the Xcel Energy restoration estimate?
Our independent estimates are graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), published on our accuracy page. Each Xcel Energy company's own posted restoration times are graded there too, so you can compare them.
