Sponsors: | L. Cutter | P. Will / P. Lee |
Summary: | Wildfire Matters Review Committee.

The bill also extends the increased wildfire mitigation income tax deduction that allows a landowner to claim 100%, rather than 50%, of the costs they incur in performing wildfire mitigation measures. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)

Summary: | The bill requires the public utilities commission to adopt by rule, no later than July 31, 2021, renewable natural gas programs for large natural gas utilities (those that have at least 200,000 customer accounts in Colorado) and small natural gas utilities (those that have fewer than 200,000 customer accounts in Colorado).

“Renewable natural gas” is defined to mean any of the following products processed to meet pipeline quality standards or transportation fuel-grade requirements:
If a large natural gas utility’s total incremental annual cost to meet the targets of the large renewable natural gas program exceeds 5% of the large natural gas utility’s total revenue requirement for a particular year, the large natural gas utility shall not make additional qualified investments under the large renewable natural gas program for that year without approval from the commission. The bill establishes the following portfolio targets for the percentage of gas purchased by large natural gas utilities that is renewable natural gas:
Small natural gas utilities may opt in to the small renewable natural gas program as established by the commission by rule. The rule must include a rate cap limiting the small natural gas utility’s costs of procuring renewable natural gas from third parties and qualified investments in renewable natural gas infrastructure.

The executive director of the department is required to adopt policies and procedures for the administration of the REDI grant program and is also required to produce a report summarizing the use of all money that was awarded as grants from the REDI grant program in the preceding fiscal year.
