Springs City Council acting as the Utilities board recently voted to decommission the Drake Power plant by 2023. Officials have wanted to close the plant for years, but a final timeline has also taken years of planning. June 26, the CSU board voted 7-2 to close the Drake by 2023 and the Ray Nixon Plant, south of Colorado Springs, by 2030. CSU says it gets 416 megawatts of coal-fired power. Instead, CSU will be relying on 500 megawatts of new wind energy, 150 megawatts of solar power, and more than 400 megawatts of battery storage.
City Utilities Board Chair, Jill Gaebler, joined Ted Robertson on KRDO's Afternoon News to talk more about the decision to close Drake.

Meet Finley! This little guy was brought into our Pueblo shelter by Animal Law Enforcement after a neighbor called about him being left behind by his owners.
Since arriving at our shelter, he quickly became a staff favorite! He was a little shy and timid at first, but once he warms up to you, he is a ray of sunshine. He is a smaller dog, and he may need a little extra time to adjust in your home. His hobbies include chewing on squeaky toys, giving kisses and snuggling up with loved ones.
Want to know more about Finley? Visit hsppr.org or visit in person at 4600 Eagleridge Place, Pueblo. Adoption hours are 12 pm – 4:30 pm by appointment only.
