Partial owner of Xcel’s newest and last coal plant awarded judgement over year-long power outage
NOVEMBER 4, 2023
A Denver District Court jury recently awarded an electricity distributor $26.45 million after the distributor sued Xcel Energy over what it called mismanagement of a power plant.
CORE Electric Cooperative sued Xcel in September 2021 after its members suffered a lengthy power outage in 2020. The cause, CORE claimed, was Xcel’s mismanagement of the Comanche Unit 3 coal-fired power plant in Pueblo.
