DENVER – Xcel Energy may purposely shut off power in “certain limited areas” this weekend due to strong winds that could reach gusts of up to 100 mph in the foothills, officials with the electric company said Friday.

To prepare for the high and potentially damaging winds, Xcel Energy will be operating the electric system across the state “in a manner intended to enhance public safety and decrease the risk of wildfire,” according to a news release.

Xcel Energy will try to let customers know if power will be shut off in their area ahead of time, and advised people who have medical equipment that relies on electric service to take steps to prepare for potential extended outages “in case proactive shutoffs are necessary.”
