Xcel Energy’s Wildfire Tech & Power Future | Lubbock News

Published 1 day, 18 hours ago
Description

Xcel Energy is rolling out a bold, tech-driven wildfire prevention plan—complete with AI cameras, drones, and smarter powerline safety—to protect Texas communities. But it’s not just gadgets: they’re also clearing brush, upgrading aging infrastructure, and collaborating with firefighters to turn seconds into safety. Meanwhile, they’re powering ahead with a massive renewable energy push—4,000 megawatts of wind, solar, and storage by 2030—and eyeing fair cost-sharing from big users like data centers. Regulators must approve, but the future looks safer and greener.
