SB 23-079

This bill seeks to expand Colorado's definition of "clean energy" and "clean energy resource" to explicitly include nuclear energy alongside renewable sources like solar and wind. The main purpose is to recognize nuclear power as a clean energy option in state energy policy, which could potentially make nuclear projects eligible for the same incentives, programs, and regulatory treatment currently available to other clean energy sources. However, the Senate Transportation & Energy Committee has recommended that the bill be postponed indefinitely, effectively killing the legislation for this session.
