Clean Energy for Colorado Campaign Kickoff

Clean Energy For Colorado Kickoff Meeting

Colorado’s energy system is being shaped by investor-owned utilities—especially Xcel Energy—in ways that increase costs, slow climate progress, and place corporate profits ahead of public interest.

The bottom line is this: Utilities are required by law to serve the public interest—but today, they are serving shareholders. Without stronger rules, oversight, and ratepayer protections, utilities will continue to expand fossil gas, backslide on their commitments to transition off of coal, subsidize corporate energy users, and shift financial risk onto Coloradans.

But we can fix this! Colorado can realign the energy system so our state is powered by more clean energy and utilities act in service of people—not shareholders—by establishing clear clean energy requirements, reforming utility incentives, and empowering communities and regulators.

This Spring, we’re launching an exciting grassroots movement right here in Aurora where we’ll be holding Days of Action, organizing media events, building a local coalition, gathering petitions and more to drive Colorado’s transition to clean energy. It all starts with our kickoff meeting.
