Xcel Energy's 2025-2027 wildfire mitigation plan approved
DENVER (KDVR) — Xcel Energy's wildfire mitigation plan, which expands work and programs to reduce wildfire risk, was approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, the company announced Friday. The plan was approved on Thursday, and Xcel Energy-Colorado president Robert Kenney said it allows the company to implement projects to protect customers and communities from the risk of wildfire. 'We worked closely with a large coalition of stakeholders representing customers, businesses, government and agencies to put forth a plan designed to keep our customers and communities safe, while keeping bills low,' Kenney said. Xcel said the 2025-2027 Wildfire Mitigation Plan outlines goals and reporting methods to better communicate the mitigation work with customers and communities, including during events like public safety power shutoffs to prevent potential ignitions from energized electrical facilities. Previous: Boulder enters agreement with Xcel Energy to quicken wildfire safety upgrades Here are the proposed investments and improvements that Xcel listed: Greater Situational Awareness: Implementing advanced fire modeling and analysis tools, adding weather stations and tripling AI cameras for early smoke detection. Technology-Enabled Inspections: Accelerating inspections in wildfire risk areas using aerial and drone methods. Infrastructure Improvements: Multi-year program to upgrade equipment, underground power lines and rebuild transmission lines. Vegetation Management: Expanding efforts in high-risk areas with new standards for inspections and pruning. Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings: Increasing remote safety settings, sectionalizing lines and adding new technology. Public Safety Power Shutoff Program: Providing interactive outage maps, proposing a backup energy rebate and improving customer support and communication. Organizational Growth: Expanding the Wildfire Risk team by improving capabilities in meteorology, fire science, risk management and analytics. 'This is a significant step toward making our community safer and more resilient in the face of growing wildfire threats,' said Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde, City of Boulder City Manager. 'With the Public Utilities Commission's approval, we're thrilled to see this plan move forward. I am proud of the work our city team did to ensure the voices of our community—and our neighboring communities—were heard and to help shape a plan that better protects the people and places most at risk.' The company said the plan is also designed to keep customer bills low by 'securitizing eligible company investments.' Xcel said the plan was verbally approved and the PUC is expected to release a written decision later this summer. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Bar crawl aimed at generating business on Colfax during bus rapid transit construction
DENVER (KDVR) — Businesses along Colfax Avenue have been vocal about concerns that their businesses will suffer while a bus rapid transit project is constructed between Broadway and Yosemite. On Tuesday, the Colfax Ave. Business Improvement District announced the 'Bigwig Bar Crawl,' a wig-themed bar crawl to five of Denver's favorite bars. Sign up for the FOX31 Denver Guide weekly newsletter for events and activities 'From bold and bright to sleek and chic—all wigs are welcome. And here's the twist: your wig is your drink ticket!' the improvement district said in its announcement. The goal of the crawl is to support small business impacted by the ongoing construction project. Once complete, the project will create a bus lane in each direction along Colfax, designed to increase transit capacity and shorten travel times. BRT projects have been touted as making bus service more reliable and timely, and giving buses priority at intersections. The crawl will kick off at The Squire Lounge, 1800 E. Colfax Ave., and will include visits to five other bars, according to the district, including Pete's Satire Lounge, Lion's Lair, DNVR and Bar Max. Tickets to join the event are $10 and are available here, but interested participants must be 21 and over. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, with registration open from 3 to 4 p.m., and the crawl planned to start at 4 p.m. All proceeds from the bar crawl will go to small businesses impacted by the bus rapid transit construction. The event organizers added that participants should drink responsibly and use rideshare, transit or get a sober friend to drive them home. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
