HB 22-1020

House Bill 22-1020, also known as the Customer Right To Use Energy bill, ensures that individuals in Colorado can use natural gas, propane, solar panels, small wind turbines, and small hydroelectric power for their homes or businesses without facing restrictions from state agencies, local governments, or community rules. This means customers have freedom to choose how they generate electricity, cook, heat water, and keep warm. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now enforceable and affects all residents and businesses in Colorado.
