CO HB1177

Increases the threshold for utility economic development rate agreements that require Public Utilities Commission approval from 20 megawatts to 40 megawatts at a single location

Extends the maximum duration utilities can offer economic development rates from 10 years to up to 25 years, with commission evaluation of project duration, community impacts, and rate impacts on other customers

Establishes tiered review timelines: 120 days for loads of 41+ megawatts, 210 days for loads exceeding 150 megawatts

Requires economic development rates to be in the public interest, prohibits rates from directly increasing costs for other customers, and maintains utility obligations to meet greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements

Extends the repeal date for economic development rate provisions from January 1, 2028 to January 1, 2035, and updates terminology from "renewable energy" to "clean energy" throughout
