Public Service Company of Colorado Advocates a Resource Selection Process that Places Ratepayers at Risk by Favoring Fossil-Fuel Resources Over Renewables

Topic: Business & Corporate

Article Viewed 642 Times; 2 comments

Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo)'s 2003 resource selection process selected electrical generating resources that will cost ratepayers billions of dollars in avoidable costs. PSCo advocated the use of the same procedure in its 2007 resource plan. PSCo's assumptions for discount rate, fuel price escalation, and CO2 costs favor fossil-fuel over renewable resources. PSCo proposes fuel price forecasts that represent an average decrease of over 1% per year in real fuel costs for both natural gas and coal.
