Renewable Energy Development Infrastructure
The Governor's Energy Office (GEO), with a $397,700 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, is working to advance utility-scale renewable energy in Colorado through the Renewable Energy Development Infrastructure (REDI) project. The REDI project will develop technical, financial and policy frameworks to expedite the construction of an additional 1,000 megawatts of renewable resource capacity onto Colorado's electricity grid.
The GEO is working with renewable energy developers, transmission planners, financiers, regulatory policy experts and others to develop an action plan for Colorado electric utilities that own transmission. The GEO is also working with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, the Colorado Clean Energy Development Authority, and the Colorado General Assembly to expand Colorado’s high voltage transmission system. The REDI project will provide regulatory and utility decision-makers with financing and policy evidence that will propel the integration of a minimum of one gigawatt of renewable energy resources on an upgraded and expanded Colorado high voltage transmission system.
