For Colorado
Transmission Overview
Xcel Energy is the sixth largest investor-owned transmission system with more than 18,600 miles of electric transmission lines in 10 states.
Transmission lines are large power lines that move power at high voltages from power plants, where the power is made, to substations in neighborhoods. At substations, we reduce the voltage and move the power through distribution lines to homes and businesses.
We operate our transmission system on a non-discriminatory basis under the open access requirements of the federal government. All wholesale buyers and sellers of electricity can use our transmission system under the same terms and conditions used to serve Xcel Energy’s own retail customers.
In Colorado, we also operate a natural gas transmission system.
