CONCERNING MEASURES TO IMPROVE A CUSTOMER'S ABILITY TO USE
        DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
       SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. ( 1) The general assembly
finds and declares that:
        (a) With weather-related power outages on the rise, distributed
generation systems, such as residential solar energy systems, create a clean,
reliable energy source that, especially when paired with an energy storage
system, is less vulnerable to natural disasters and grid failures;
Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material added to existing law; dashes
through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and such material is not part of
the act.
        (b) Customers across the state are increasingly wanting to have more
freedom and choice over their energy decisions and to increase the
self-reliance and self-sufficiency of their families and communities;
        ( c) Portable-scale solar generation devices plug in directly to a wall
outlet and immediately provide energy to a home. These devices can play
a meaningful role in addressing energy affordability statewide, and they are
ideal for any small space, such as an apartment balcony or a small patio.
       (d) While clean energy technologies, including portable-scale solar
generation devices, are becoming increasingly available for customers,
interconnection fees and other utility processes can make the adoption of
such technologies unnecessarily costly and burdensome;
       (e) It is the policy of the state and the intent of the general assembly
to encourage the use of portable-scale solar generation devices and to limit
obstacles to customers' use of these devices; and
       (f) Increasing renewable energy generation and allowing customers
across the state to have more freedom, choice, and self-sufficiency over
their energy decisions through the use of portable-scale solar generation
devices is a matter of statewide concern.
       (2) The general assembly further finds that:
        (a) Customer-sited distributed energy resources, including rooftop
solar and energy storage, are important tools to help customers manage
bills, improve resilience, and support achievement of the state's clean
energy and climate goals;
      (b) UL labeling and listing, building codes, and fire codes ensure
consumer safety for renewable energy devices;
        ( c) Ensuring efficient, low-cost, and timely interconnection of
distributed energy resources is a matter of statewide concern;
       (d) Use of meter collar adapters can reduce or avoid costly and
time-consuming service panel upgrades when interconnecting distributed
energy resources, thereby lowering the costs of and barriers to
customer-sited distributed energy resources for households and small
PAGE 2-HOUSE BILL 26-1007
businesses;
       (e) Cooperative electric associations are required to comply with the
interconnection rules adopted by the public utilities commission, and
municipally owned utilities are required to adopt interconnection standards
that are functionally similar to those established by the public utilities
comm1ss10n;
       (f) However, existing law does not explicitly require that
cooperative electric associations and municipally owned utilities must allow
for customer use of meter collar adapters; and
         (g) Therefore, additional statutory direction is needed to ensure that
all utilities in the state fully and efficiently accommodate the use of meter
collar adapters.
        (3) The general assembly further finds that requiring separate
production meters for customer-sited distributed energy resources in
circumstances where net energy consumption can be accurately measured
at the customer's billing meter adds unnecessary cost and complexity that
discourage beneficial distributed energy resources.
       SECTION 2.        In Colorado Revised Statutes, add 40-2-140 as
follows:
      40-2-140. Portable-scale solar generation devices- requirements
