Historical outage patterns in Colorado
Federal outage records (EAGLE-I, kept by the U.S. Department of Energy)
contain 17,150 county-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in Colorado between 2014 and 2025 for the 48 counties the federal record covers — 169 of them major events of 10,000+ customers.
Half were restored within about 2.9 hr, and county-level outages here have been most common in summer (36% of all records). The busiest year on record was 2025.
Largest single-county outage on record: ~156,331 customers out in Jefferson County in February 2019, restored after about 30 min.
Months that hit the widest area at once — these rank among the three largest outages ever recorded in the most counties: February 2019 (12 counties), September 2020 (7 counties) and December 2021 (5 counties).
Where restoration has historically taken longest: Jefferson County (~5.3 hr typical), Denver County (~4 hr typical) and Arapahoe County (~3.5 hr typical) — against ~2.9 hr statewide.

historical records, not outages tracked live by this site. Statewide figures aggregate the same per-county records shown on each county page below;
the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-county typical times, weighted by how many records each county has. A county appears in a “widest area” month when that month
produced one of its three largest recorded outages.
