Involving the Public in Long-Range Energy Supply Planning

摘要

When developing a plan for how to meet future electricity needs, Colorado Springs Utilities sought input from stakeholders through public meetings, advisory groups, and one-on-one interviews. Comments from the public influenced the content of the final plan, which includes a capacity addition at a turn-of-the-century small hydro plant, as well as development of a new 850-kW hydro facility.
