This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Colorado, sorted by type and name. In 2020, Colorado had a total summer capacity of 17,632 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 54,115 GWh. The corresponding electrical energy generation mix in 2021 was 41.6% coal, 25.5% natural gas, 26.5% wind, 2.9% hydroelectric, 3.1% solar, and 0.3% biomass. The net generation in 2021 was 56,748 GWh. Small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 1,034 GWh to Colorado's electricity grid in 2021. This compares as about one-half the amount generated by the state's utility-scale photovoltaic plants. In 2004, Colorado became the first state with a voter-approved renewable portfolio standard (RPS). The RPS requires 30% of electricity sold by investor-owned utilities to come from renewable energy sources by 2020, with 3% from distributed generation. Wind turbines on Colorado's high eastern plains are productive year-round and continued to proliferate in 2021. Coal has been undergoing replacement with natural gas and renewables in the state's electricity portfolio. Half of the coal mined in Colorado was exported in 2019, and extraction of the states's oil and gas reserves increased to record-high levels. (en) |
