The goal of this survey is to establish a baseline of our region’s knowledge and understanding of various energy types. After this survey, the results will lead to further actions surrounding energy education and provide the space for fact-based discussions regarding the future of NW Colorado’s economic development.
Thanks are extended to all communities in Northwest Colorado, the region’s esteemed elected officials, Trapper and Tri-State, and the colleges and universities that have supported our efforts with the Northwest Colorado Energy Initiative (NCEI), thus far.
The Northwest Colorado Energy Initiative (NCEI) was established with a critical mission: to guide the region through a pivotal energy transition, identifying suitable alternatives to coal and preparing for the upcoming feasibility study. Our organization is deeply committed to maintaining affordable energy costs, retaining a skilled regional workforce, and ensuring the availability of quality jobs with competitive wages. This commitment aligns with the broader goals outlined in Colorado HB23-1247.
