DENVER — Xcel Energy warns elevated wildfire conditions in northwestern Colorado this week could lead to power outages. The company said excessively dry conditions and strong winds will primarily impact Mesa and Garfield counties. Those elevated wildfire risks will reach a peak on Thursday afternoon and evening. Due to the elevated wildfire risks, Xcel said it will use its Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings .
As a last resort, Xcel Energy warned it could preemptively shut off power 'only if conditions warrant.' In April, the company de-energized more than 600 miles of power lines, cutting off power to 55,000 customers ahead of a major wind event. Some customers were without power for days as crews worked to assess and address any damage.
