The Colorado Springs Utilities Board approved an Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) portfolio in June that represents a significant departure from the utility’s heavy reliance on coal and natural gas generation. The Martin Drake Plant, one of the last urban coal-fired power plants in the US, will retire coal power generation no later than 2023 under the new plan. The remaining coal generation at CSU will be at the Ray Nixon Power Plant until 2030 when coal generation at it too will be retired. Replacing this 400 MW of retired coal generation will be new generation of 500 MW from wind, 150 MW from solar, and 156 MW from aeroderivative gas turbines; plus 417 MW of battery storage. The new portfolio represents the changing economics of power generation and community values.
