Some Marshall Fire victims are coming across issues with Xcel Energy as they try to rebuild their homes
LOUISVILLE, Colo. — For Christian Dino, as with many other Marshall Fire survivors, rebuilding has been a challenge.Dino was able to rebuild in the same location where he lost his previous home in the fire on Dec. 30, 2021.
“We’ve already spent $60,000 on a system that I don’t know if I’m even going to be able to use,” Dino said. “Because they’re not sure the infrastructure can support it, is what I’m told,” Dino said. “It seems the due diligence was not done to determine whether or not the infrastructure could support the requirements that the city is mandating.”
“It’s a process,” she said. “If we ultimately did it all at once, it would be an extreme cost for all of our customers. And a transformer can only withstand a certain amount of capacity. Would it require potentially a new substation? Maybe. It’s a long game.”
