Key Proceeding Details
Application - Generation Station Conversion: Public Service Company of Colorado
Proceeding No. 22A-0563E
The Commission is considering Public Service’s application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to convert the Pawnee Generation Station from coal operations to natural gas operations. In its application, Public Service states that the conversion of Pawnee to operate on natural gas instead of coal by the end of 2025 will enable emissions reductions consistent with Public Service’s target to reduce its carbon emissions by over 80 percent by 2030. The Commission has referred this matter to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to Conduct the hearing and issue a recommended decision. The ALJ is currently reviewing a settlement agreement filed by the parties in the proceeding. The ALJ will issue a recommended decision, which will be reviewed by the Commission.
