Denver Rally 12/11/13 to Support Solar in Colorado

Rooftop solar is helping Colorado build a cleaner, safer and more resilient energy supply. But now Xcel wants to change the rules on Coloradans who go solar by drastically cutting the credit these customers would receive for electricity they put onto the grid. If the utility is successful, they could destroy the economics of going solar in our state. This proposal from Xcel is a thinly-veiled attempt to protect profits and stand in the way of energy innovation and customer choice. On Wednesday, December 11, we’re going to send a clear message to Xcel executives that Coloradans support fair credit for solar power. Will you join me? Here are the details: What: Stand Up for Rooftop Solar Event and Petition Delivery When: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM MST Where: Skyline Park (Denver, CO) 1732 Arapahoe Street Denver, CO 80265 12:30: Move to Xcel's Headquarters 1800 Larimer St Denver, CO 80265 Why: Xcel wants to change the rules on its customers who invest in rooftop solar, which helps Colorado build a cleaner, safer and more resilient energy supply. The utility has proposed drastic cuts to the credits it provides for the excess clean energy solar customers deliver to the grid, and that Xcel then sells to their neighbors. If Xcel is successful with this proposal, new solar customers could see bill-saving credits cut in half. More than 20,000 Coloradans have already voiced their opposition to Xcel Energy’s anti-solar plan. At noon on December 11, we will gather in downtown Denver to deliver our petitions in person to Xcel.
