Project

Proposed

The project involves extending the operation of Xcel Energy's Comanche 2 coal-fired power unit past its scheduled retirement date to cover for the outage of Comanche 3. This extension would allow running two coal units simultaneously, potentially increasing pollution and energy costs, contrary to previous commitments to retire coal plants and transition to clean energy.
