Xcel Energy – Colorado has proposed the Mountain Energy Project, its largest non-pipeline alternative portfolio to date, to reduce natural gas use and emissions while ensuring the reliability, safety and comfort of customers served by its Easter Mountain Gas System in Grand, Lake, Eagle and Summit counties. The project will help meet the state of Colorado’s clean energy goals and supports Xcel Energy’s vision of delivering net-zero natural gas service by 2050.

The Mountain Energy Project is an innovative approach to natural gas system planning, pairing non-pipeline alternatives – like energy efficiency, conservation and beneficial electrification programs – with new modular liquid natural gas and compressed natural gas equipment to back up these projects during times of increased demand.
