Colorado’s largest utility claims it has more than enough power reserves to handle the state’s descent Monday into shadow. “Xcel Energy in Colorado is not anticipating any operational issues as a result of the solar eclipse, although like everyone else we will be interested in how this rare, celestial event plays out across the country,” said spokesman Mark Stutz, echoing a message sent out by other utilities in the path of the eclipse. The solar eclipse will greatly diminish, temporarily, the amount of electricity from solar power coming onto the grid.
