The plant, which will employ two General Electric combustion turbines, will be located near natural gas pipelines serving the area east of Denver and will have access to existing transmission lines belonging to Xcel.

Under the agreement, Xcel will have dispatch rights for all of the capacity and energy produced by the facility and will also manage the purchase and delivery of fuel used at the facility.

Calpine said it will manage construction of the project and will own and operate the facility.
