Jennifer Gremmert, executive director of Energy Outreach Colorado, said the organization’s toll-free call center, for which the COGA provided seed funding, has received 16,000 to 18,000 calls each week from people who need help this year.
Polis noted that some of his directives would be aimed at preventing such a rider from being necessary in the future. Dan Haley, president and CEO of COGA, said that in order to invest in innovations that allow Colorado to deliver “the cleanest energy molecules on the planet,” the state needs a stable and predictable regulatory environment, noting that the industry has had more rulemakings than in any other state in the past 10 years.

It's hard to plan and budget when bills keep changing.”
