Xcel Energy proposes to construct, maintain, and operate Colorado’s Power Pathway (Pathway) in eastern Colorado. Pathway includes installation of approximately 560 to 650 miles of new 345-kilovolt double-circuit electric transmission line to improve the state’s electric grid and enable future renewable energy development around the state. The proposed facilities in Kit Carson County associated with Pathway include 62 miles of transmission line and a repeater station. As illustrated on the enclosed map, the proposed transmission line enters Kit Carson County from the northwest, just east of County Road 4. The proposed transmission line continues southeast in a “stair step” pattern to just west of the intersection of County Road EE and County Road 17. The proposed transmission line then continues generally south across Interstate 70 to just south of County Road U, where it turns east to County Road 23 and travels generally south to County Road B. The proposed transmission line then turns and travels generally east along County Road B and the Kit Carson County/Cheyenne County line before turning south into Cheyenne County just east of County Road 35. The Townships, Ranges, and Sections upon which development is proposed to occur are provided on the enclosed map. The repeater station is an accessory use to the Pathway transmission line under this permit application and will be located and constructed in Kit Carson County adjacent to the transmission route in T6S/R50W/S22.
Xcel Energy is requesting approval from the Kit Carson County Planning Commission for a Land Use Change from Agricultural to Industrial (Transmission Lines). You have the right to file a written objection or appear at this hearing. This application is available for review at Kit Carson County Public Health and Environment at 252 S. 14th St., Burlington, CO 80807 prior to the hearing.

The location of the property for the Canal Crossing Substation that is a subject of the hearing on the 1041 Application is shown on the enclosed map and the and legal description is as follows:
SUBJECT LAND: N/2 NW/4 Section 13, Township 2 North, Range 57 West.

Please join us at one of our upcoming in-person public open houses to learn about our routing and siting process and provide feedback about the proposed transmission line route and substation site options. Project staff will be available to provide information about transmission line routing activities and answer questions about the project, including the overall timeline, route options, construction processes and topics related to easements and right-of-way.
