Colorado’s Power Pathway proposes a $1.7 billion grid investment to boost the regional economy, build a transmission backbone to tap into renewable resources, increase system resilience and heighten power reliability. It’s a long-term, coordinated planning effort guided by our priorities to lead the clean energy transition, keep bills low and enhance the customer experience.

The project requires approval from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN). The Commission determines whether the project is needed and in the public interest. Xcel Energy's application with the CPUC can also be found by visiting the Public Utilities Commission web site at state.co.us and entering Proceeding No. 21A-0096E in the Search field. Visit the CPUC website to view regulatory documents associated with the project, including notices, filings, public comments and more.
