Equity at the Colorado Public Utilities Commission

The Colorado Public Utilities Commission is embarking on a process in which it will consider how best to provide equity in all of its work, by adopting rules and practices informed by equity considerations. This process is driven by Senate Bill (SB) 21-272, which states that:

“The Commission shall promulgate rules requiring that the Commission, in all of its work including its review of all filings and its determination of all adjudications, consider how best to provide equity, minimize impacts, and prioritize benefits to disproportionately impacted communities and address historical inequalities."
