On track to meet renewable energy goal by 2020
In addition to providing safe, reliable, low-cost service, our customers want to know we are doing our part to protect the environment. That's why we are moving forward with contract negotiations that will add enough clean,
renewable power to serve approximately 30,000 homes annually.
This project will be about 100 megawatts and provide a long-term renewable energy source for Colorado Springs. It will increase our renewable energy portfolio to about 15.6 percent of our generation.
It also allows us to achieve our Energy Vision's renewable goal. Our goal calls for 20 percent of our total electric energy be produced through renewable sources by 2020 with a maximum bill impact of 1 percent, which we anticipate to hit with this new project.
