From Xcel Energy Residents may have noticed new sensors installed by Xcel Energy on select utility poles in the Fritch area. These devices help Xcel Energy monitor the electric system, identify potential equipment issues early, and help line crews locate and respond to problems more quickly. In an area with elevated wildfire risk, they can also provide additional awareness of conditions that may affect power lines and equipment. The sensors monitor utility infrastructure and do not capture images or video. Similar technology is used by utilities across the country to support reliability, public safety, and infrastructure resilience.
