Solar is helping Colorado families, schools and businesses take charge of their power supply and their electricity bills like never before. This private investment is helping build a cleaner, safer and lower cost energy supply for all of us. Affordable rooftop solar delivers $11 Million in annual grid benefits by reducing the need for traditional utility investments. It supports a growing local industry that currently employs 3,600 Coloradans statewide. And has helped make Colorado a real leader in our nation’s new energy economy as the state ranks 6th in the nation for total solar installed. That’s all great news for Coloradans, but big utilities view competition from solar as a threat to their old way of doing business.
Now Xcel is asking for new regulations that penalize Coloradans who go solar. This is nothing more than a thinly veiled profit protection plan from a monopoly that wants to stop competition discourage consumer choice – even if it means turning on its own customers. We want Xcel to know that its customers won’t stand for anti-solar, anti-consumer shenanigans in the interest of protecting profits. If you live in Colorado, help us by signing our petition to Xcel’s executives!
