XCEL ENERGY/PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINE
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
When working near or under a high voltage electric transmission line, it must be
assumed the transmission line is energized, and any workers or equipment may not be
closer than twenty feet (20') in any direction to the energized transmission lines or
conductors. The Xcel Energy/Public Service Company of Colorado Electric
Transmission Line Operations Department must be contacted at 303-273-4662 or 303-
273-4665 a minimum of 5 days in advance to arrange for a Patrolman to be on site
during any construction work within an electric transmission line right-of-way. Safety
provisions will allow for operations in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health
Act requirements.
When determined to be necessary, the Electric Transmission Line Patrolman will
arrange for an outage of the electric lines. Any outage is a day-to-day situation, with
the Patrolman on the job site at all times. When the Patrolman has arranged for an
outage, any workers must be no closer than three feet (3') in any direction from the de-
energized lines or conductors. A fee will be considered on a case-by-case basis if Xcel
Energy is on site for an extended period of time.
Under NO circumstances may work be started within twenty feet (20') in any direction
of the transmission lines or conductors without clearance from the Patrolman. It is the
responsibility of the party in charge of the work or contractor to notify the Patrolman
whenever starting and ending the work.
When an encroachment of any electric transmission line right-of-way is proposed, it is
necessary to request a review of all details to ensure compliance with the National
Electric Safety Code. Approved encroachments shall be documented with a fully
executed License Agreement. For encroachment review and approval, please call
(303) 571-7478.
