Xcel Energy warns of potential Front Range power shutoffs
XEL
  • Xcel Energy plans to activate Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) across parts of the Colorado Front Range starting around noon Wednesday due to extreme winds (65–80+ mph) and prolonged dry, warm conditions raising wildfire risk.
  • The utility will deploy its Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) systemwide, which can automatically cut power upon line contact; outages under EPSS or PSPS may take hours to days to restore due to required inspections and repairs.
  • These measures could affect up to 1.6 million Colorado customers served by Xcel (excluding municipal utilities) from Fort Collins through the Eastern Plains and Pueblo region; customers will be directly notified and an outage map provided.
  • The precautionary stance follows a $640 million settlement related to the 2021 Marshall Fire litigation, motivating proactive wildfire ignition avoidance.
  • Xcel is coordinating with local emergency managers and school districts and monitoring weather conditions (wind, humidity, fuel moisture) around the clock to inform PSPS decisions.
