Our Mountain Energy Project identifies solutions for safe, clean, reliable and affordable energy service for our customers and other utilities served by our Eastern Mountain Gas System in Grand, Lake, Eagle and Summit counties. This includes using non-pipeline alternatives to meet customers’ needs – like energy efficiency, conservation and beneficial electrification programs – along with gas supply reinforcements to provide backup energy service during times of increased demand in the winter.
In August 2025, we reached a near-unanimous comprehensive settlement agreement on the project, which will allow us to continue providing reliable natural gas service while also supporting options for those who wish to use more carbon-free energy. We appreciate the work of Colorado Public Utilities Commission Staff, the Colorado Energy Office, the Mountain Community Coalition, the Sierra Club and the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project – groups all focused on making energy work better for our customers.
In November 2025, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission issued their final written approval of the project and determined it was necessary and in the public interest. We look forward to continued collaboration with these growing mountain communities to ensure safe, reliable service today while increasing flexibility to meet local energy needs tomorrow.
