From XCel Energy Colorado:
Our top priority is ensuring the safety of our communities, customers, and crews as we prepare for tomorrow’s forecasted extreme weather, including conducting a targeted Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) starting at 10 am, December 17, potentially impacting about 50,000 customers in Boulder, Clear Creek, Jefferson, Larimer and Weld counties. Weather conditions necessitating a PSPS are expected to start improving around 6 p.m. Wednesday, though high winds that may create wildfire risk and cause outages are expected to continue through Friday.
To find out whether your address is affected by the public safety power shutoff, visit https://co.my.xcelenergy.com/s/outage-safety/outage-map
We also stress that those who are not expected to be part of the PSPS may still experience outages due to the high winds associated with this dangerous weather event.

As always, our crews will work as quickly as they can to restore power in the event of a PSPS or other weather-related outages.
