HB 1281

Aspen Times Weekly

HB 1281: Known as the "10 to 20 bill," sponsored by Rep. Jack Pommer, Schwartz in the Senate, would incrementally increase Colorado's renewable energy standard, currently set at 10 percent by 2020, to reach 20 percent by 2020, meaning all utilities operating in the state would be required to produce 20 percent of their power from renewable resources.

Well not quite. Investor-owned utilities, like Xcel, would have to get 20% of their electricity from renewables by 2020. Rural electric associations would only have to get 10% of their energy from renewables. It was a big fight just to get them that far.
