Colorado introduces HB 1226 to manage costs and emissions after federal order extends Craig Station coal plant operation.
Colorado lawmakers are introducing HB 1226 to respond to a federal emergency order keeping the Craig Station Unit 1 coal plant open past its 2025 closure date, citing energy shortages in the West.
The bill aims to protect consumers by allowing low-interest state-backed bonds to cover costs, mandating quarterly public reports on expenses and output, and imposing stricter pollution limits on plants that exceed emission thresholds.
It follows pushback from utilities, environmental groups, and the state attorney general, who argue the federal directive imposes unfair financial burdens and undermines clean energy goals.
