## Document text

(a) A Tier I utility shall generate a community energy report for each local
government other than a Colorado county included in its service territory with
50,000 or more residents. A Tier I utility shall generate a community energy
report for each Colorado county included in its service territory with 100,000 or
more residents. Any local government with fewer than 50,000 residents and
Colorado county with fewer than 100,000 residents or a minority of whom are
served by a Tier I utility shall be treated as if it had 50,000 or more residents
served by the Tier I upon request from the local government or county. Such
requests shall be made by January 31 of the calendar year following the
reporting year and shall continue in effect until such time as the request is
withdrawn or cancelled by the local government. All population thresholds shall
be based on the most recent population estimate from the Colorado State
Demography Office and where the utility serves the majority of the population.
(b) On or before June 1 of every year, a Tier I utility shall make publicly available for
download all community energy reports generated for the prior year. Reports
shall be available in an electronic machine-readable form that conforms to
nationally recognized open standards and best practices.
(c) The community energy report shall include the following information and
aggregated data for the utility and its customers and specific to the local
government for the prior calendar year:

(I) the annual dekatherms consumed by customers, provided by residential,
commercial, and industrial classes;
(II) the average number of customers in the residential, commercial, and
industrial class; and
(III) the total annual energy saved (in dekatherms) from energy efficiency
measures installed.
(d) A local government may submit, or have another local government submit on its
behalf, a GIS data to define its jurisdictional boundaries prior to the issuance of
the community energy report.
(e) Upon request by a local government, a Tier II utility shall generate a community
energy report, in accordance with this rule, consistent with the utility’s meter,
network, or data capabilities. Such requests shall be made by January 31 of the
calendar year following the reporting year and shall continue in effect until such
time as the request is withdrawn or cancelled by the local government. On or
before June 1 of every year, the utility shall make publicly available for download
all community energy reports generated for the prior year. Reports shall be
available in an electronic machine-readable form that conforms to nationally
recognized open standards and best practices.
(f) Availability of the community energy report pursuant to this rule does not
preclude a local government from requesting other data reports.
