Introduced·2/6/26
Load Text

Colorado SB082 allows local governments to set fees for renewable energy project applications and collect a success fee upon approval.

Colorado SB082 provides local governments with authority to establish fees for renewable energy project applications and collect a success fee upon project approval. The bill allows local governments to offer two tracks for applications: a standard track with a lower fee and no guaranteed timeline, and an expedited track with a higher fee and a guaranteed timeline for final decision. If the local government meets the guaranteed timeline, the facility owner receives a refund of the additional fee paid for the expedited track.
