Xcel's continued maintenance failures of its plants is now going to cost rate payers $100 million dollars. And it continues to court data centers. There is now a 472 MW energy gap. The very thing that has lead to this problem is the thing they want to continue to use...ffs.

I can only hope Colorado passes the 'plug and play' solar panels for renters quickly. I'm thinking of getting one.

Xcel is relying on old, dirty fossil fuels to solve its summer power gap, critics say, rather than doubling down on renewable options.
