- The Colorado Public Utilities Commission approves new energy efficiency targets for Xcel Energy (XEL -0.1%), raising them 25% above what the utility had requested in order to "provide increased benefits to customers
and reduce the cost of utility investments."
- XEL's Public Service Company of Colorado subsidiary is in the process of overhauling its Colorado energy mix, and earlier this month filed a proposal
with state regulators to retire a pair of coal units and to add 1.8 GW of renewables.
- If regulators approve XEL's clean energy proposal, it would take the utility's coal generation from more than 40% of its resources last year to less than 25% within a decade.
