"Xcel Energy Power Outages Impact Thousands in Colorado, Restoration Delays Expected"

Xcel Energy announced that power restoration in Colorado's Front Range could extend into Monday following a windstorm that caused deliberate and accidental outages for over 155,000 customers. The company had initiated a Public Safety Power Shutdown affecting 55,000 customers to reduce wildfire risk, with additional outages caused by windstorm damage. Crews were deployed to visually inspect power lines before re-energizing them, with some customers facing a second day without electricity. Other local electric cooperatives were also addressing outages, and a small fire in the foothills prompted the closure of Highway 36, but was contained to two acres.

"Widespread Power Outages Hit Oahu Amid Strong Winds and Green Energy Debate"

Thousands of customers in Haleiwa, Kaneohe, Ala Moana, and Kailua are without power due to weather-related issues, with Hawaiian Electric reporting outages in these areas. The outages are attributed to the impact of winds and vegetation blowing into power lines, with around 1,235 customers affected in the Ala Moana area, approximately 4,990 customers in Kaneohe, and around 1,510 customers in Haleiwa. First responders are investigating, and Hawaiian Electric assures that the outages are not related to the rolling outages experienced the previous week, with crews working to repair the issues.
