Xcel says Poncha 2802 feeder work will be summer priority; 2803 deferred to fall pending permits

Chaffee County Board of Commissioners work session (Xcel Energy presentation) · June 23, 2026

Summary

Xcel told county officials the 2802 feeder (Maysville to Monarch) is the company's summer work priority while 2803 work will be postponed until after tourist season; CDOT permitting is required before some work can begin.

County officials asked Xcel to clarify which feeders serve Salida and Monarch and when remaining work items would be completed. Xcel said the 2802 feeder serves Maysville up to Monarch and will be the concentration of this summer's work; 2803 will mostly be postponed until the fall or after the tourist season.

"If I'm understanding correctly, that is the feeder that feeds the rest of the area for Poncha Springs, for Salida area," Ashley Valdez said, describing two main feeders and the focus on 2802. She added Xcel is still working with CDOT on required permits before executing some of the planned work.

County staff asked for a more precise timeline for the 155 remaining work items on 2802 and the 30 items on 2803; Xcel agreed to follow up with a more dialed-in schedule and to coordinate permitting with CDOT.
