Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) presented its plans and financial results at an analyst meeting. PSCo's resource plan aims to reduce carbon emissions 10% by 2017 and 20% by 2020 through increasing renewable energy and demand-side management. The plan calls for adding 800 MW of wind, 225 MW of solar, and 360 MW of demand-side management by 2015. Environmental groups praised the plan for establishing precedent as the only Western utility to commit to significant carbon reductions. PSCo expects the plan will allow it to achieve environmental goals at a reasonable cost to customers.
