ALAMOSA — Xcel Energy will scale back on the number of solar energy plants it hopes to build in the San Luis Valley, citing uncertainty over when a proposed transmission line to export that power could be built.

The utility, which partnered with the Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association in hopes of building the proposed line from Pueblo to Walsenburg and into the valley by May 2013, revealed its revised plans in a filing Tuesday with the state Public Utilities Commission.
