Thank you to all who participated in the Green Energy Program. Since its launch in 1998, when a group of forward-thinking residents partnered with Fort Collins Utilities to invest in renewable energy, the Green Energy Program played a crucial role in helping the City increase our community's installed renewable energy capacity by an incredible 3,000%.

The success of this program and its innovative approach to renewable energy has naturally led us to the next phase: providing 100% renewable energy to our entire community as part of our regular service.

In December 2024, the Green Energy Program will end. This milestone reflects the original goal—that one day, all residents would receive 100% renewable energy from the City. Thanks to the Green Energy Program members, the City's Our Climate Future goals, and our partnership with our power provider, Platte River Power Authority (PRPA), we are excited that we are well on our way to making 100% renewable energy a reality for all Fort Collins Utilities customers.

As the City works towards providing 100% renewable energy, we encourage homes and businesses to continue supporting this effort by investing what they were spending on Green Energy into enhancing the energy efficiency of their buildings. These actions will help reduce our community’s energy load, accelerating our progress toward our goal of 100% renewable energy for everyone.
