More than 1,000 customers in Boulder and metro Denver were still waiting for their electricity to be restored Tuesday evening after Xcel Energy said it had resolved 95% of the power outages related to the weekend windstorm.

About 122 outages across Denver Metro and Boulder have impacted 1,270 Xcel customers, according to the company’s electric outage map.

On Tuesday afternoon, more than 11,000 customers were without power. The southwest metro area, Arvada and Boulder were the locations hardest hit by the remaining 394 outages, Xcel spokesperson Tyler Bryant said. On Tuesday morning, 480 outages were recorded.

In those places, Xcel is handling “more damage from winds that gusted up to nearly 100 miles per hour,” according to a company news release.

More than 500 crew members were working to turn on electricity through 600 miles of lines as of 9 p.m. Monday.

The majority of the customers who lost power — a total of more than 150,000 — have seen a return to normalcy after extreme winds and a decision by Xcel to shut off service disrupted many households throughout Colorado.

“Boulder County has been the center of some of the most destructive wildfires in our state. Each time, our community rebuilds stronger than before,” Rep. Judy Amabile and Senate President Steve Fenberg, both Boulder Democrats, stated in a Tuesday afternoon release. “While we understand wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts are necessary during extreme weather, we urge Xcel Energy to construct a better plan for the future to prevent wildfires during high winds.”

The impacts are still being felt by several Denver metro schools, with class canceled on Tuesday at five Jeffco Public Schools without power.

The Public Utilities Commission will hold a public comment hearing next week followed by an investigation workshop by the end of the month to discuss ways to prevent wildfires without prolonged power outages.
