Lamar-Vilas Transmission Project

This proposed project consists of approximately 57 miles of transmission from Public Service Company of Colorado’s (PSCo) Lamar Substation to a new substation near the town of Vilas, Colorado. The proposed project was identified in 2007 as a way to accommodate generation resources in Baca County. However, system studies indicate that any additional generation at Lamar will require significant upgrades, such as the proposed Lamar-Front Range transmission line. This proposed project could not accommodate any new generation unless the Lamar-Front Range transmission line is also in place.
