Bill > SB028

This bill amends Colorado law to remove wind energy from the state's definition of eligible renewable energy resources for its renewable energy standard and from consideration for state clean energy targets. Specifically, it strikes "wind" from the list of renewable energy resources that utilities must use to meet state mandates, which previously included solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and certain types of hydroelectricity. Additionally, it adds a definition for "CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCE" that explicitly excludes wind energy, impacting the state's goals for reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. These changes will apply to clean energy plans filed and renewable energy credits applied for after the bill becomes law.
