COLORADO'S LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY SOLAR DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

The Colorado Energy Office conducted a low-income community solar demonstration project in collaboration with eight rural electric cooperatives and municipal utilities. This project had a significant impact on the lives of subscribers, and there are many lessons learned for utilities, policy implications, and future iterations of similar projects. Emily Artale presented an overview of the demonstration project and the lessons learned to the Clean Energy States Alliance in October of 2017.

INCREASING TRANSPARENCY OF THE SOLAR GARDEN PROCESS: FOUR QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK WHEN CONSIDERING PARTICIPATION IN A SOLAR GARDEN

Understanding the risks, "what-if" scenarios, and marketing implications of participating in a solar garden can be quite daunting. In this webinar we will breakdown the risks and "what-if" scenarios by shedding light on some of the major assumptions used to determine utility savings and payback periods. In addition, we will explain how Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) may or may not help you meet your renewable energy goals. In turn, you can use this information to develop analyses and increase confidence in your purchasing decision.
