Where we work
Colorado is home.
We work coast to coast, but this is where we live. Saga is headquartered in Fort Collins, and the Rocky Mountain region is our deepest market. The grid we work on most days is the grid that lights our own kitchens.
Why Colorado is a great place to build clean energy
Colorado sits at a rare intersection. The state has one of the most ambitious clean-energy policy frameworks in the country, a utility mix that includes everything from investor-owned giants to member-owned cooperatives to municipal power providers, and a landscape that genuinely supports renewable development at every scale. You can drive three hours in any direction from Fort Collins and be looking at real sites for community solar, distributed storage, utility-scale solar, or wind.
That means something specific if you are a developer. You can walk a landowner's parcel in the morning, meet with a county commissioner over lunch, and be on the phone with a utility capacity planner that afternoon. Saga is designed to do exactly that.
The utility territory we cover
- Xcel Energy, Public Service Company of Colorado. The largest investor-owned utility in the state, running the Clean Energy Plan and the 2021 Electric Resource Plan as its two most important planning documents.
- Black Hills Colorado Electric. Investor-owned, centered in Pueblo and the southeastern plains, executing a 2030 Ready plan.
- Tri-State Generation and Transmission and its member electric cooperatives across Colorado, executing an Electric Resource Plan revised in 2024.
- Colorado municipal utilities including Colorado Springs Utilities, Platte River Power Authority, Fort Collins Utilities, Holy Cross Energy, and Yampa Valley Electric, each running its own resource planning process.
The SPP West expansion and the WECC future
Most of Colorado sits inside the Western Interconnection, coordinated by WECC. That posture is evolving. SPP's West expansion is actively bringing parts of the Mountain West into an SPP regional transmission organization framework alongside the existing WECC structure. For developers and utilities in the state, the opportunity is real: projects that were previously held back by sub-optimal market structures now have a clearer path to a capacity-valuing RTO framework. Saga tracks the evolving SPP West footprint site by site. If your project is in a region shifting from vertically integrated WECC into SPP West, we are ready to help you evaluate what that means for offtake structure, capacity accreditation, and project economics.
We're ready to partner
Saga is ready to partner with Colorado landowners, investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, counties, tribal nations, and community groups. And the same applies beyond Colorado. Our team has worked across every major ISO and RTO in the country, from CAISO and WECC to SPP and MISO, from PJM to ERCOT to SERC. When a counterparty reaches out, we bring that full map with us.
The Saga screening rubric
We score every candidate site against an internal rubric on land posture, transmission reach, utility capacity signal, offtake fit, and policy exposure. The rubric itself is not public, but the county-level results are available to our counterparties under a signed NDA. If you represent a utility, a co-op, a tribal nation, or a landowner and you want to know where your territory actually lands on our internal map, ask.
