For decades, Xcel Energy’s sprawling Comanche Station coal facility near Pueblo has generated power for customers across the utility’s service territory in Colorado — and has generated thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue for local governments, schools and special districts. As part of the state’s transition to powering the electric grid with mostly renewable energy, Xcel will close the third unit on the roughly 700-acre Comanche campus by 2031, shuttering all the company’s coal facilities in Colorado.
