Colorado's renewable energy standard for rural cooperative
electric utilities will increase from 10 percent to 20 percent by 2020 under
Senate Bill 252, which was signed into law on June 6, 2013, by Governor John
Hickenlooper. The new law requires rural co-ops with more than 100,000 meters
and utilities that generate and supply electricity on behalf of member co-ops
to get 20 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020.
