2016 Colorado Legislative Conservation Scorecard

Description: This bill was one of several attacks on Colorado’s efforts to curb climate change and implement pollution reduction goals under the Clean Power Plan. The bill would have added bureaucracy and costs to Colorado’s efforts under the guise of saving ratepayers money. Thanks to Colorado’s early action towards renewable energy, our state is already on the path to reaching our Clean Power Plan goals. However, this bill would have stripped the incentives for utilities to curb costs and left ratepayers at risk.
