Eligibility / billing boundary: RE-TOU period prices are current filed-tariff totals before address-dependent taxes and franchise fees. Numerical values are cross-checked through a tariff transcription because Xcel’s current filed sheets are distributed through a dynamic rate-book portal.

The state average is a benchmark, not a substitute for this tariff. A low or high encoded period is a marginal energy price and should not be interpreted as a complete monthly bill unless the page explicitly says whole-bill modeling is supported.
