On June 27th, Xcel Energy filed a new Wildfire Mitigation Plan. This is the second plan filed by the Company and covers proposed spending for the 2025-2027 period totaling approximately $1.9 billion. The Plan includes new technology and programs including weather stations, cameras and drones, undergrounding electric lines, vegetation management, public safety power shut-offs, and stakeholder outreach.
Equity Implementation Staff Capstone Report Released
Senate Bill (SB) 21-272 directs the PUC to consider how best to provide equity, minimize impacts, and prioritize benefits to disproportionately impacted communities, and to address historical inequalities in all of its work.
In April 2022, the PUC opened a proceeding to seek stakeholder input on how it should implement the equity legislation. Commissioner Megan Gilman and Staff have hosted extensive public input opportunities over the last two years. In July 2024, the PUC released a capstone report synthesizing the results from this outreach proceeding and recommendations for future activities.
