Colorado SB142 facilitates the development of thermal energy resources by clarifying legal pathways for industrial waste heat recovery and geothermal.
Colorado SB142 aims to reduce legal ambiguity and soft costs associated with thermal energy network deployment and industrial waste heat recovery. The bill provides express statutory authority for these activities, which previously lacked clear legal pathways. It allows industrial or commercial facilities to sell recovered thermal energy under certain conditions, including that the energy is a by-product of their primary processes and not generated primarily for retail sale.
