On October 1, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) will be holding the second of three public workshops to discuss the future of Colorado’s net metering program for rooftop solar. The voices of people like you have been a crucial part of our success defending against Xcel’s anti-solar proposals to date – help us keep it up by showing the Commission once more that Coloradans care deeply about solar choice!

Here are two ways you can help:

1) Show up in person at the PUC workshop in Denver! We’re going to pack the room with solar supporters so that the Commissioners have no doubt that Coloradans want to harness more of our plentiful sunshine for power, local jobs, public health and our climate. RSVP here for details.

2) Write a letter to the Commissioners thanking them for giving Coloradans like you the chance to be heard and urging them once more to stand strong for rooftop solar. We’ll deliver those letters in person at the workshop – so your voice will be heard even if you can’t be there in Denver to speak up.

Coloradans overwhelmingly support state policies like net metering that make solar more accessible and more affordable. This private investment in solar is delivering real benefits to all Coloradans by reducing the need for Xcel and other utilities to invest in expensive, polluting power infrastructure.

Thanks to a tremendous outpouring of that solar support last year, our Public Utility Commission agreed to table Xcel’s proposal to dismantle net metering and instead open a new, separate process to take a good look at this critically important solar program.

Now Xcel is up to its same old shenanigans in this new process: trying to game the system to make solar look like a bad deal in a thinly veiled attempt to make it harder for Coloradans to go solar. That’s why we need your voice today.

Urge the Commission to stand strong for solar progress and energy choice by defending our net metering program.
