The Kelker Substation Expansion project is almost doubling the substation size to accommodate the growing energy demands in the southeastern area of Colorado Springs. The substation will connect to the new Kelker-South Plant and Midway-Kelker transmission lines.
The Kelker Substation Expansion addresses the Sustainable Energy Plan's goals to improve system reliability by expanding our energy resources to meet the growing energy needs of our community. Construction began in January 2023 and is expected to be complete in 2027.
