Segment 5 Preferred and Alternative Route Links: April 28, 2022

Our interactive map has been updated with preferred and alternative route links in Segment 5. Revisions incorporate link-specific feedback received from landowners, community members and other project stakeholders and ongoing refinements resulting from continued routing evaluations. These revisions include:

Elimination of an area undergoing evaluation due to links removed from consideration in this area.
Identification of the preferred and alternative routes in Pueblo, El Paso and Arapahoe counties.
Identification of three alternative routes in Elbert County. Xcel Energy will continue to evaluate and incorporate feedback on alternative route links in Elbert County until a single preferred route is identified.
Feedback received about Segment 5 prompted the addition, modification and removal of transmission line route links within the focus area and area undergoing evaluation.

Updated Transmission Route Links

The preliminary transmission route links have been updated to reflect our latest routing analysis:

Green dashed line – Preferred transmission route link
Orange dashed line – Alternative option to a preferred transmission route link
Red dashed line – Link removed from consideration
Yellow line – Preliminary route link that will be narrowed down until a single preferred route is identified
Solid dark and light red lines – Township and section boundaries (these are not transmission route links)

Additional revisions may be posted in the coming weeks; please check back for the most up-to-date information.
