Renewable Portfolio Standard Passes Colorado Senate
The Colorado State Senate has voted in favor of SB 180, which establishes a renewable portfolio standard of ten percent by 2010 in Colorado. This legislation, introduced by Senator Terry Phillips (D-Louisville), passed on the second reading late this afternoon (29 April) on a 16-14 vote. After this bill passes its third reading in the Senate, it will go to the Colorado House of Representatives, where Majority Leader Lola Spradley (R-Beulah) is the House sponsor.
SB 180 implements a state renewable portfolio standard requiring that the state’s investor-owned utilities provide or acquire two percent of their power from renewable energy sources (such as wind, solar and biomass) in 2004, increasing to ten percent in 2010 and beyond. For details on SB 180, and to follow its progress during the remainder of this legislative session (which ends on 8 May), visit:
