Senate Bill (SB) 21-272 directs the PUC to consider how best to provide equity, minimize impacts, and prioritize benefits to disproportionately impacted communities, and to address historical inequalities in all of its work.
In April 2022, the PUC opened a proceeding to seek stakeholder input on how it should implement the equity legislation. Commissioner Megan Gilman and Staff have hosted extensive public input opportunities over the last two years. In July 2024, the PUC released a capstone report synthesizing the results from this outreach proceeding and recommendations for future activities.
