Can data center developers help Xcel Energy drive down emissions? — Allen Best (BigPivots.com)

Xcel Energy has filed a proposal with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission for a large-load tariff specifically for data centers needing 50 megawatts or more. The utility aims to partner with hyperscale data center developers to reduce emissions and accelerate the adoption of next-generation energy and storage technologies, using a Google agreement in Minnesota as a model. This initiative seeks to ensure large-load customers cover their costs while fostering responsible growth in Colorado.
