Make Tri-State Part of Colorado's Clean Energy Solution

We need your support to make sure that Colorado keeps building a clean energy future.

The Colorado Public Utility Commission is considering taking a more active role in making sure that all of the utilities in Colorado meet the state's renewable energy goals. They have asked for public comments  on whether or not the Commission should oversee Tri-State Generation and Transmission's energy resource planning process—the same way they oversee other energy utilities in the state.

More oversight is needed to move all energy providers in Colorado toward energy efficiency and clean energy solutions—not new coal plants—to meet their customer's energy needs.  You can help the commissioners ensure Tri-State is helping Colorado be a leader in the new clean energy economy. Please fill out the form to the right and send your comments to the commission.  

Follow these 3 easy steps to help out.
1. Look over the message to the right, and feel free to add your own comments. Using your own words makes the message more meaningful.

Tri-State, Colorado's second largest electricity supplier, has a plan in the works to build an expensive and unnecessary coal-fired power plant. And if their plan plays out, they'll saddle Colorado with decades of dirty, toxic air and stick rural Coloradans with the bill.

With vast clean energy resources across our state and cost-saving energy efficiency options at the ready, Tri-State's proposal for another coal-fired power plant is outrageous.

We have until April 6 to tell state energy regulators on Colorado's Public Utilities Commission that Coloradans want clean energy solutions for Colorado's energy needs. Please click below to submit a comment to the PUC telling them to put Tri-State on a path to a clean energy future and to drop dirty coal.

The PUC is considering taking a more active role in making sure that Tri-State invests in energy efficiency and renewable energy. It's no accident that Xcel Energy, the state's largest utility, has become a national leader in renewable energy. The commission made sure that Xcel is meeting the state's renewable energy standard.

Now we need to make sure that Tri-State meets those same goals, ensuring that the state moves beyond dirty energy sources and plays its part in building the New Energy Economy.

 With your help, we can drop dirty power and make sure that Colorado has a clean energy future. Click below to tell the commission to put Tri-State on a path to a clean energy future and to drop dirty coal.
