SUGAR LAND--November 22, 2019--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Colorado's legislators are pushing harder than those in other Rocky Mountain states to reduce its reliance on coal-fired power generation, and power producers are making strides in adopting new sources. While coal provided just more than 50% of Colorado's net generation in 2017, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), renewables had more than doubled since 2010 to nearly 25% of the state's output, led by wind power. Industrial Info is tracking nearly $3.5 billion in active power-generation projects in Colorado, more than 80% of which is renewable-sourced.
