DENVER — The Colorado Public Utility Commission will host a virtual public comment hearing as part of the agency’s investigation into Xcel Energy’s decision to implement a precautionary outage ahead of a windstorm earlier this month.

The storm toppled trees leading to damaged homes and additional power outages for more than 100,000 customers across the Front Range. Power wasn’t fully restored for days after the storm. The next day, the three-member commission voted unanimously to open a probe and examine the actions taken by the utility company during the storm.
