Xcel announces retirement plans for remaining Colorado coal plants
10.21.2024
Xcel Energy Colorado has proposed next steps to identify new power generation to replace its retiring coal units, which are set to retire by 2030.
The proposal is the first step in a two-phase regulatory process, which sets the stage for the company to seek new project bids, likely beginning by the end of 2025. The proposal, called a Just Transition Solicitation, proposes additional value for locating future new power generation in former coal plant communities.
