Senate Republicans add teeth to energy office stimulus bill

Senate Republicans prevailed in tacking an amendment on accountability to one of the 36 bills introduced on the Colorado Recovery Plan that they say will help address conflict-of-interest questions on the Clean Energy Fund.
Senate Bill 230 would send $40 million in general funds — part of the $800 million left over from the 2020-21 budget year — to the Colorado Energy Office. The office would then send $30 million to its former chief operating officer, who now runs the Colorado Clean Energy Fund, which he set up while he was still in the state energy office.
The action has led to Republican accusations that the $30 million is a sweetheart deal for the office's former COO, Paul Scharfenberger.

Mesa commissioners OK joining commercial clean-energy program

Mesa County commissioners this week agreed to let owners of commercial and industrial buildings take advantage of a Colorado program that facilitates financing of clean-energy investments, something the county previously had been reluctant to do.
The commissioners unanimously agreed to let the Colorado New Energy Improvement District conduct the Colorado Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Program, or C-PACE, within the county. The program is an initiative of the New Energy Improvement District, which was authorized under the New Energy Jobs Creation Act of 2010 and subsequent bills amending it.
The program allows eligible building owners to finance up to 100% of qualifying energy-efficiency, renewable-energy and water-conservation improvements. They obtain financing through private capital providers with repayment terms up to 25 years. Repayment occurs through a voluntary assessment, similar to a sewer district assessment, on a building ownerâs property tax bill. The annual energy cost savings usually exceeds the annual assessment, which allows for capital-intensive equipment upgrades, according to C-PACEâs website. The assessment runs with the property, meaning it can transfer to the next owner in the case of a sale.
