Pueblo County commissioners express concern about possible early closing of Xcel’s Comanche #3 power plant
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) The Comanche #3 coal-fired power plant was scheduled for closure by 2040 but now may shut down sooner creating economic issues for the area, a county commissioner said Tuesday.
Commissioner Garrison Ortiz told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that the early closure possibility is based not on specific information, but on chatter that we ve heard from political groups that the plant could be targeted.
Speaking at Tuesday s regular board meeting, Ortiz voiced concern about the possibility, saying that it would eliminate high-paying jobs and property tax revenue that would fund several important capital improvement projects.
