Just under 28,000 Xcel Energy customers are without power Wednesday morning due to several outages impacting the northern Denver metro.
As of 11:30 a.m., most of the outages are located in and around Broomfield. Xcel’s outage map showed there were 23 outages affecting 27,548 customers, including several in Superior and Westminster. The company serves a total of 31,583 in the city.
“Equipment failure at the substation level led to an outage of about 31,000 people in Broomfield around 10:30 this morning,” said Tyler Bryant, a spokesperson for Xcel.
Xcel expects to have most outages resolved by noon, and Bryant said some service is already back online.
