Empower Our Future

A Boulder-based coalition of organizations and individuals in support of local clean power.

Over the past 8 years, Boulder voted 4 times to move forward toward public power. In 2020, voters confirmed strong support for more renewable energy, although public power came up short — but not by much. The City has re-entered into a 20-year franchise (pending PUC approval) with Xcel Energy, albeit with 5 year off-ramps — the first being in 2025. While not the path we believe is best for Boulder or that should be imposed on Colorado, we do support maximizing the partnership to benefit our renewable energy goals. We intend to monitor and report on the City/Xcel Agreement projects, costs, progress, while educating our community and our state about industry innovation and opportunities to engage on this critical topic.
