Pippa StevensCORRESPONDENT
And with so much uncertain policy, Bank of America is set to favor states where the large-load framework was built ahead of all the data center power demand, potentially making the build-out less disputed.
Pippa StevensCORRESPONDENT
They point to names including Black Hills in Wyoming, Xcel Energy in Minnesota, and IDA, Kelly, in Idaho, with this idea that if you already have the framework in place, it's easier to build.
Kelly EvansHOST
But in Texas, this could be one to watch because they have so many data centers or potential data centers.
Kelly EvansHOST
And it looks like that race is tightening somewhat.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
However, there's a small subset that has an interesting story.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
167 streetlights owned by utility company Xcel Energy.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
Xcel owns the poles and fixtures and builds the city for usage.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
The city reached out to work with Xcel, but Xcel repeatedly declined.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
Something similar played out in Boulder, Colorado, whereby the town actually ended up purchasing all of the streetlights off of Xcel to the tune of $3.4 million.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
Breckenridge is contemplating the same approach for this small subset, which they will estimate the cost will be around $300,000.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
All in all, Breckenridge is sitting at a price tag of around $3 million for this upgrade and maybe more pending purchase of Xcel Energy's streetlights should they go that route.
Bill McGeeneyHOST
But a portion of this upgrade actually wasn't necessary, I'll add, because the old fixtures were very expensive to maintain.
speaker_1HOST
It leaves the local upgrades built for that load in the zone's shared rate, with no test of whether the payment covers them.
speaker_0HOST
Excel joins industry's capital investment binge.
speaker_0HOST
Excel Energy updated its five-year capital expenditure plan to $70 billion as it joins America's energy renaissance, building out and modernizing the electric grid to meet ever-growing demand.
speaker_1HOST
BPA reveals RA position not as long as many might assume.
speaker_1HOST
BPA Administrator Travis Cavola revealed the agency is not as long on capacity as many in the industry might expect.
Kyle ClarkHOST
If you live in Denver, you've probably been bombarded by social media ads encouraging you to vote for local ballot issue 2K.
Kyle ClarkHOST
It continues the city's franchise agreement with Xcel Energy.
Kyle ClarkHOST
Now, that sounds boring, but the backers managed to scrounge up some Denverites who seem really, really invested.
Kyle ClarkHOST
Ballot issue 2K asked Denver voters to extend a franchise agreement that lets Excel use the city right of way for utility infrastructure and outlines how Excel is supposed to maintain equipment like streetlights and traffic signals.
Kyle ClarkHOST
The city estimates the agreement has saved billions in construction costs over 20 years, and both the city and Excel want to keep this deal going for another 20 years.
Kyle ClarkHOST
The committee supporting the ballot issue called Safe and Reliable Energy Denver is running ads that feature testimonials from friendly everyday folks who want you to vote yes.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yes on 2K for me means keeping Xcel Energy accountable.
speaker_8SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm voting yes on 2K because having a new franchise agreement allows Xcel to work efficiently in the city of Denver and it allows us to continue to grow as a city.
Paul AitkenHOST
I think of Brink's docks.
Paul AitkenHOST
Excel Energy here in Colorado.
Paul AitkenHOST
I'm not sure how they do it, but they have DJI docks.
Paul AitkenHOST
So I see DFR as a docked drone.
Thomas ClardyGUEST
Now, not all of them we're actually really doing any significant business in, but in fact, in today and tomorrow, we might be adding our 48th and 49th.
Thomas ClardyGUEST
And some of them are enormous, like Accel Energy.
Thomas ClardyGUEST
We're working on finishing everything out with Accel.
Thomas ClardyGUEST
They're huge.

Smith says the injured worker suffered burns and was taken to the hospital, although the severity of those injuries remain unclear.
speaker_2CORRESPONDENT
Xcel Energy says the problem was on the customer's side of the gas meter rather than its distribution system.

The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.
speaker_2CORRESPONDENT

Kevin FalnessHOST
Former Gover Logan Cooley stops that in his track with...
Kevin FalnessHOST
Just about 90 seconds left to go in regulation, but still Jesper Volstead, despite not getting the shutout, will in fact get the Xcel Energy.
Kevin FalnessHOST
Big saves of the game.
Kevin FalnessHOST
A giveaway by Volstead.
Blake OlsonCORRESPONDENT
A truck crashed through the back wall of a garage in Littleton on Tuesday, prompting a response from the South Metro Fire Rescue Technical Rescue Team.
Blake OlsonCORRESPONDENT
Crews found that the truck had also damaged a gas meter, leading Xcel Energy to cap the gas line.
Blake OlsonCORRESPONDENT
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported.
Blake OlsonCORRESPONDENT
For the driver or anyone inside the home, fire crews worked to stabilize the damaged structure after the truck was removed.
