To all City Residents.
There are two young men going around selling solar subscriptions for Community Solar, the solar garden is in Prinsburg, MN. The city has all their information. This however does not mean they are a legitimate company. They have been asking if you sign up for all your bank information. Please be cautious! They will be in our city until February 7th. The city just wants to make the public aware.
If you do not want to have anyone knock on your door to sell you stuff, then Please put up a sign on your door with big bold letters saying,
NO SOLICITATION

There are 4 guys going door to door, no vehicle, some going up to your kids if your kids are outside and asking if your parents are home. When confronted, one guy said he was not selling anything, just seeing if homeowners wanted a free inspection of their roofing and siding or whatever else. He also would not give me his name, but interesting that he is asking others for theirs! He was informed to register with the city before going door to door. They were taking names and phones numbers to contact you later for inspection. If you would like a free inspection, we have six contractors that live in the Belgrade area that would be more than happy to give you a free inspection for your home. Most of you all know them and they are local. Four of them live in city limits. Just be cautious of those coming into the city and claiming they can help you out when you do not even know who they really are and gather all your personal information.

I reached out to the Cities contact with Xcel Energy and she stated that they do not partner with third parties for Solar and these companies are taking advantage of a program that Xcel offers, but Xcel does not partner with the parties that have been going around our city. She also gave me the following information.

Basic Information on Third Party Providers
Some third party providers sell renewable energy credits (RECs), often adding the cost for the RECs to your energy bill through a new, combined bill that the third party produces. These companies may request your private, online Xcel Energy account log-in information, promising to pay your Xcel Energy bill using credit card or banking information that you provide them. Xcel Strongly advises you to consider the following tips;

Review the company’s Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy to ensure you are comfortable with how they do business and how they may share your information.
Never share the password to your private online energy account with anyone. Through our My Account opens in a new window online portal, you can set up delegates and give them access to your account information with varying levels of permission. As an online customer, you can set up a username for a delegate. The delegate can then create their own password so there is no need for you to share your password with anyone else.
Use caution if you grant a third party access to your online Xcel Energy account information believing they will pay your Xcel Energy bill. Late or insufficient payments can result in credit implications and collection actions, including discontinuance of service.
We will not release any account or billing information to a third party without explicit permission from you, our customer. We require customers to complete and sign a form before we release any information. You do not need to disclose personal financial or account login information to anyone in order to provide access to your energy use. We have an online form that can be completed, signed, and submitted to enable the sharing of energy use data. Visit Customer Data Access to learn more or click on the following link for more information.

While we can't directly recommend specific third party providers, we can help you navigate your options and provide helpful tips along the way.

To all City Residents, it has come to our attention that there are a couple of people going door to door in yellow vest, claiming they are from Xcel Energy and if you give them your Xcel information, you can get 10% off your bill. This is a Scam.
If you do not want Salesmen/Solicitors coming to your door, please put up a simple sign that says NO SOLICITATION on your front door. Also, all solicitors are supposed to check in at the city office and we get them registered.
