Colorado HB1337 facilitates nuclear energy development by setting goals and establishing processes for nuclear energy projects.

Colorado HB1337 sets the goal of identifying at least one nuclear energy project site by 2035 and beginning construction by 2040. The Colorado Energy Office is tasked with serving as the state's permitting coordinator for nuclear energy projects, coordinating with developers, stakeholders, and permitting agencies. The bill also requires investor-owned electric utilities with over 500,000 customers to solicit requests for information from communities and developers interested in hosting nuclear energy projects and to identify potential sites by August 1, 2027.
