The Colorado House of Representatives has passed a bill which would increase the amount of renewable energy rural electric cooperatives in the state must use. The mandate would require these cooperatives to get 20 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. The bill also increased the amount that electric cooperatives can charge customers for the new power sources to two percent of a customer’s bill.
