Community Energy Reports

(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31 of the calendar year following the reporting year and shall continue in effect until such time as the request is withdrawn or cancelled by the local government.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.#
