Before April 1901, Denver had only one electric light and power plant to provide electricity for the city’s growing population. In March 1900, Charles F. LaCombe and his beneficiaries received a franchise to build an electric power plant, breaking the monopoly of the Denver Consolidated Gas and Electric Company.
