Representatives Hansen and Coleman introduced House Bill 17-1299. The bill directs the Transportation Legislation Review Committee (TLRC), by December 1, 2017, to hold a hearing on the potential benefits and costs of requiring the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to determine targets for the amount of energy storage systems that electric utilities should incorporate into its electric resource acquisition plans. The bill defines energy storage systems as commercially available technology capable of absorbing energy, storing it for a period of time, and dispatching it in a prescribed manner. The PUC would determine targets for all utilities subject to Colorado's renewable energy standard. Representatives Hansen and Coleman answered several committee questions and distributed a handout to the committee (Attachment D).
