Greenwood to Denver Terminal Transmission Project
Project Description: Xcel Energy—Colorado proposes to rebuild and reconductor approximately 15.4 miles of existing 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission facilities to operate at 230 kV. The plan is to rebuild and/or reconductor facilities within existing right-of-way and easements from Xcel Energy’s Greenwood Substation to its Denver Terminal Substation. The project includes modifications to the existing Greenwood, Arapahoe and Denver Terminal Substations to accommodate the new 230 kV lines. The transmission line project crosses six municipalities: Centennial, Greenwood Village, Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan and Denver.
