HB 26-1246: Protecting Coloradans from rising power costs and a broken system

Colorado State Representative Ken DeGraaf explains why he is sponsoring his state’s “Consumer Regulated Electricity” (CRE) law (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/HB26-1246):

“Colorado has a choice.

We can continue expanding a system where citizens are captive customers of a state-enforced monopoly while utilities earn guaranteed returns on ever-larger projects.

Or we can open the door to innovation, competition, and responsible investment that protects consumers while allowing our economy to grow.

House Bill 26-1246 is a step toward that future.”
