Testimony on Bill to Implement Consumer-Regulated Electricity

“On Thursday, March 12, 2026, Independence Institute Energy Policy Analyst Sarah Montalbano testified in favor of consumer-regulated electric utilities (CREUs) in the Colorado House Energy & Environment Committee. The bill would allow the development of CREUs, which serve new large electricity loads through systems that are physically islanded from the existing grid. These projects would serve new industrial or commercial customers that were not previously served by a retail electric provider, such as data centers. Because the systems are physically separated from the existing grid, ratepayers would be insulated from potential rate impacts.”
