Weld County’s largest power plant to get bigger

The Weld County Board of County Commissioners recently approved Public Service Company of Colorado’s (Xcel Energy) request to build two new natural-gas fired combustion turbines and its associated facilities. The two combined will add an additional 364 megawatts of power-generation capacity, which would at most be enough to provide power to 364,000 homes.
