=== Grid security ===
In 2017, Xcel Energy partnered with the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center to create a new "threat information sharing community" intended to share cyber and physical security intelligence with the energy sector. The new community is called the Energy Analytic Security Exchange (EASE). It is run by the FS-ISAC Sector Services team; FS-ISAC is an organization that gathers cyber and physical risk intelligence for the financial services industry. Additionally, the [[North American Electric Reliability Corporation|North American Electric Reliability Council]] (NERC) manages the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which is another resource that the energy sector uses to gather threat intelligence.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tdworld.com/grid-security/xcel-energy-participate-grid-security-intelligence-community|title=Xcel Energy To Participate in Grid Security Intelligence Community|date=2017-02-14|website=Transmission & Distribution World|access-date=2018-12-28}}</ref>

==== Advanced Grid in Colorado ====
In 2016, Xcel Energy announced the Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security (AGIS) initiative, a long-term effort related to power reliability, distributed generation, and information sharing with customers. Through the initiative, Xcel would build an "intelligent grid" in Colorado in order to improve grid security. The company filed a request for permission with the [[Colorado Public Utilities Commission]] for the program, which would cost $500 million.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.xcelenergy.com/staticfiles/xe-responsive/Marketing/Co-filings-advanced-grid.pdf|title=Xcel Energy: Co-Filings Advanced Grid|website=www.xcelenergy.com}}</ref>
