Xcel Energy is trying to change the rules on customers who go solar by weakening one of the state’s most important solar rights: net metering. Vote Solar and our partners are on the case, working hard to protect net metering in the state. To date, we have delivered 30,000 petition signatures, rallied 300 strong in Denver, and successfully put Xcel Energy on alert that Coloradans won’t stand for anti-solar, anti-consumer shenanigans. All that public pressure is working – let’s keep it up!
Today organizations across the state are asking Coloradans to take to the Internet to stop this utility power grab. We are tweeting sunny messages at Xcel Energy and Governor Hickenlooper. Our goal is to make sure they know that the public is paying attention to this important solar fight. Please help us spread the word!
If you live in Colorado, here are some sample tweets to get you started:
- I’m an @XcelEnergyCO customer & I support rooftop solar. Stop the attacks on net metering & keep CO shining! #COsolarRights
- .@hickforco please stand strong for my solar rights & say NO to Xcel’s unfair net metering plan #COsolarRights
It’s easy to send those messages and more through our twitter campaign page. Click here for all kinds of pro-solar twitter fun.Together we can show decision makers that Coloradans support solar power – and deserve full, fair net metering credit for it!
