Xcel Energy Colorado officials filed an updated wildfire mitigation plan with state regulators Thursday aimed at better responding to the threat of wildfires across the state in the wake of an investigation by the Colorado Utilities Commission ignited by the company’s decision to shut off power to more than 50,000 customers ahead of a powerful windstorm back in April.
“We’re seeing wildfire evolve, significantly driven by climate change. There really isn’t a single wildfire season anymore, it’s year-round,” Kenney told Denver7. “It’s important to be proactive so that we can — to the best extent possible — prevent a wildfire to happen in the first place.” The decision prompted Gov. Jared Polis to direct the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to probe the company’s decision to implement the power shutoffs.
“We’ve maintained all along that our hearts are with the customers that were impacted, but our equipment didn’t start the Marshall Fire,” Kenney said Thursday, stressing that the “evidence is what really leads us to that conclusion that our equipment didn’t start that wildfire.”
