Drive Clean Colorado is proud to recognize Xcel Energy as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Drive Clean Summit + Expo, coming to Empower Field at Mile High on October 22.

Building Colorado’s clean transportation future is a team effort. Fleets, utilities, communities, technology providers, policymakers and transportation professionals each bring something different to the field. DCSE brings them together to turn shared challenges into practical solutions—and move Colorado forward.

Xcel Energy’s sponsorship helps make that collaboration possible.

A timely agenda for a changing industry

Clean transportation is at an important crossroads. Funding programs are shifting. Fleets are exploring new vehicles and technologies. Communities are planning infrastructure. Utilities are preparing for growing transportation-energy needs. Employers and training providers are working to build the workforce required to support it all.

This year’s agenda gets directly into those questions, with conversations focused on:

  • Where clean transportation is headed in Colorado and nationally
  • The real-world decisions shaping fleet deployment
  • Charging infrastructure, reliability and grid readiness
  • Workforce development and training
  • Transit and emerging mobility solutions
  • Retail charging requirements
  • Policy changes and the future of transportation funding

The indoor and outdoor Expo will give attendees time to see vehicles, charging equipment and emerging technologies firsthand—and talk directly with the people putting them to work.

The day concludes with Funding Crossroads, a forward-looking discussion about where transportation funding is headed and how fleets, communities and industry partners can prepare.

Partnership that moves the work forward

Sponsorship should do more than place a logo on an event. It should help create useful experiences, substantive conversations and connections that continue after the doors close.

As Presenting Sponsor, Xcel Energy is investing in a stronger and more connected clean transportation industry. That is especially important as transportation and energy planning become increasingly intertwined.

We appreciate Xcel Energy’s support—and we look forward to bringing Colorado’s clean transportation team together at Empower Field.
