Xcel Energy prepares for likely Public Safety Power Shutoff, working to limit customer impact

Customers outside PSPS may also be impacted by wind, power outages

DENVER— (December 16, 2025)— Xcel Energy continues to refine the areas and number of customers impacted by a likely Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) tomorrow, December 17. The PSPS, is being considered to reduce the risk of wildfire, keeping communities and customers safe. Weather forecasts include very high winds and dry conditions along the Front Range. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for this weather event.

Xcel Energy is planning for a likely PSPS beginning around 10 a.m., impacting around 52,000 customers in Boulder, Clear Creek, Jefferson, Larimer and Weld counties. Risk assessments based on the latest forecast data and advanced modelling tool outputs, as well as recent improvements to grid infrastructure, have enabled us to reduce the size of the affected areas. Due to changing weather conditions, the PSPS event is now expected to begin at 10 a.m. rather than at 12 noon."
