Unnamed Xcel Energy Plant

Xcel Energy initially proposed to build a 300-350 megawatt (MW) integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant near Brush, Colorado, but later indicated their consideration of a plan to build a larger, 600 MW plant instead. On October 31, 2007, Xcel announced that it was tabling the plant for at least two years due to lack of demand and cost issues – after estimating the cost as potentially exceeding $1 billion.
