As major cities in Colorado and across the U.S. move to cost-saving advanced energy technology, we can’t leave rural communities behind. Energy and infrastructure modernization is critical to keeping local economies competitive and ensuring families are connected to good-paying jobs and opportunities.
House Bill 1247 empowers the Colorado Energy Office to study technology solutions for rural communities. These studies will shape job and infrastructure advancements for years to come, all while prioritizing low-cost measures for Colorado taxpayers and businesses.
This bill passed the Colorado legislature, and Governor Polis signed it into law on May 20. Send a note to thank the leaders who have stood up for rural modernization and tell them to keep fighting for critical advancements in Coloradans’ futures.
