Colorado Renewable Energy Plans & Reports

In 2004, Colorado passed the first voter-led Renewable Energy Standard in the nation. Today, this standard requires that 30% of an energy provider’s retail sales come from renewable energy. This is in addition to Colorado’s 2019 Clean Energy Standard legislation that requires utilities to supply 100% of retail sales with renewable sources by 2050.

We also have our own plans for a clean energy future that benefit our customers, communities and the planet. By 2050, we aim to deliver 100% carbon-free electricity, with an interim goal of cutting carbon emissions 80% by 2030. Renewable energy is a key part of how we’ll get there.

We recently submitted our 2026-2027 Renewable Energy Plan to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. It details how we will continue advancing Colorado’s clean energy future, while giving customers access to a variety of cost-effective renewable and distributed energy options to help them reduce their carbon footprint. If approved, this plan will add more distributed generation and battery storage to our system to help improve reliability and resilience, support customer choice and provide equitable access to renewable programs so more of our customers can participate in the clean energy transition.

Renewable Energy Plans & Annual Compliance Reports

60-Day Notices

In accordance with Decision No C22-0678 in Proceeding No. 21A-0625EG, Public Service Company of Colorado (“Public Service” or “the Company”) agreed to provide 60/90-Day Notice to interested stakeholders of programming changes related primarily to its income-qualified and disproportionately impacted community (“IQ/DI-Community”) programming as part of its 2022-25 Renewable Energy Standard Compliance Plan. Other programming changes may take the course of the 60-Day Notice process if specifically referenced in the Comprehensive and Unopposed Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) that was reached in Proceeding No. 21A-0625EG. Any potential program modifications that are not referenced in the Settlement Agreement or part of IQ/DI-Community program will require a Motion to be filed by the Company with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.

Under the 60-Day Notice process, proposed programming changes will require initial stakeholder engagement that is followed by issuing a Notice to stakeholders for comments, followed by posting the Notice on the Company’s website. Two 30-day comment periods follow, with the first being for stakeholder comments and the second being for Company review of those comments. A Summary Report will be compiled by the Company that provides a summary of comments received and whether those comments have or have not been incorporated into the Notice. The Summary Report and an updated version of the Notice with any changes tracked are filed with the Commission in Proceeding No. 21A-0625EG. After the Summary Notice is filed, Commission staff may file a Notice of Deficiency and other stakeholders may provide comments.

Energy Saving Tip

Install ceiling fans to keep cool air circulating so you can turn down your air conditioner. Still, make sure to turn off your fan when you leave the room.

Break Ground, Not the Law

Always call 811 before digging in your yard to avoid hitting buried gas or electric lines. Not only is it the safe thing to do, but it's the law.
