Building the future

We're planning to add 400 megawatts of reliable, cleaner and cost-effective energy generation and storage at a site near the Colorado Springs Airport.

Projected cost: $600 million

Our new fiber network will improve utility operations, better serving our customers and community. Once complete, Colorado Springs will be among the best-connected cities, offering high-speed internet to every home and business.

Projected cost: $266 million

The Kelker Substation Expansion Project almost doubles the substation's size to accommodate growing energy demands in southeast Colorado Springs.

Projected cost: $70 million

The Central Bluffs Substation project increases operational flexibility and allows for future expansions and technologies.

Projected cost: $24 million

The Midway-Kelker project will upgrade the current transmission line to increase our system’s capacity.

Projected cost: $56 million

The Kelker-South Plant Transmission line project involves constructing a large overhead transmission line to connect two of our existing substations. This project will improve system reliability and help meet growing demand.

There is a need to build new facilities to meet increased demand.

Projected cost: $29 million

Improvements to natural gas infrastructure to our south plant natural gas units and improve resiliency to Fort Carson.

This project would also supply natural gas to the proposed Horizon Utility Campus. 

Projected cost: $59 million

Replacement of gas infrastructure components to improve safety & reliability. 

Gas main steel renewals: replacement of gas mains with modern coated steel piping. | $28 million

Coated steel renewals: program to replace high risk segments of coated steel pipe. | $19 million

Vintage plastic renewals: program to replace high-risk vintage pipe segments, fittings and valves. | $5 million 

Total projected cost: $52 million

Install gas main extensions, new meters, instruments, parts, and service stubs to new residential and commercial customers.

Projected cost: $35 million 

Install underground distribution to new residential customers.

Projected cost: $29 million

We're installing upgraded meters to allow two-way communication between your home or business and our systems.

Jackson Fuller energy storage uses large-scale lithium-ion batteries to store energy. It supports renewable sources like solar and wind by storing excess energy for use when it's needed.

We have completed two of the three phases of the N. Academy Boulevard water valves replacement project. Work on phase three is underway.

We are resurfacing the steel face of the South Catamount Reservoir dam to improve its safety and performance. We are also replacing nearby infrastructure as part of this project.

We are installing more than 4,400 feet of water main to improve water quality and enhance reliability in that area.

The new Star Ranch Pump Station will replace the Lower Skyway Pump Station, which was built nearly 80 years ago. When complete, it will increase the reliability of our water supply for fire protection, improve water quality and reduce the risk of water outages.

South Suburban Reservoir in the Stratton Open Space in Colorado Springs is closed to the public while repairs are made to the dam’s outlet.

Mason Reservoir in the South Slope Recreation Area of Pikes Peak will be closed for repairs during the 2025 season.

Cable injection extends the life of our underground electric cables, reduces outages and improves reliability of the underground system.
