Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) signed several climate action bills today that will contribute toward the administration’s goal for the state to become entirely reliant on renewable energy sources by the year 2040.
Hosted by SunShare Community Solar, the bill signing attracted local elected officials and community members to witness the beginning of a new era for energy production in Colorado.
Among the bills signed today was the Community Solar Gardens Modernization Act, which allows people in urban districts access to solar energy who would otherwise not have the option to participate in Colorado’s climate action goals. David Amster-Olszweski, CEO of SunShare Community Solar, highlighted the economic, legislative, and innovation opportunities which these bills will foster in creating a robust and reliable renewable energy sector in the state.
