The Valmont Combustion Turbine Project is a 142.2 MW natural gas-fired power plant located in Boulder County, Colorado. It began operating in 2000 and is owned and operated by Public Service Co of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy. The plant consists of two natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators. It is connected to the grid within the Public Service Company of Colorado balancing authority, which operates within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region.
In the most recent year of record, the Valmont Combustion Turbine Project generated 45,988 MWh of electricity, resulting in a capacity factor of 3.7%. Based on total capacity, the plant ranks 21st out of 24 power plants in Colorado and 836th out of 945 plants nationally.

This plant is in a bilateral market territory without organized wholesale pricing. Nodal pricing data is not available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
