The Colorado Air Quality Control Commission voted Dec. 16 to reverse a previous decision to accelerate by a year the retirement of the Ray Nixon Power Plant in Colorado Springs and two other Colorado coal-fired units. The commission, which oversees Colorado’s air quality program, gave preliminary approval Nov. 20 to Colorado’s Regional Haze Plan, which the state is required to submit to the Environmental Protection Agency by July 2021. The plan would have required Colorado Springs Utilities to retire the Nixon plant no later than December 31, 2028, in order to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets. CSU’s integrated resource plan, approved in June, calls for retiring the Nixon plant in 2030. The decision did not affect CSU’s plan to retire the Martin Drake Power Plant in 2023.
