SB 236
Public Utilities Commission Reform
Yes is the pro-environment vote.
Status: Became Law
Description: The largest source of carbon pollution in our state comes from generating electricity. This bill will help Colorado’s Public Utilities Commission — the regulatory body responsible for determining which resources to use to power Colorado’s grid — drastically reduce these emissions by directing utilities in the state to generate more carbon-free electricity and consider the “social cost” of carbon when planning future energy projects. This cost, which measures the dollar value of long-term damage caused by carbon pollution, will allow utilities to evaluate the significant economic, health, and environmental benefits of continuing to invest in clean energy projects.
