Comment on New Colorado bill would end higher summer electricity rates

New Colorado bill would end higher summer electricity rates

If you’ve noticed your electric bill creeps higher with the thermostat each summer, it’s partly because Colorado utility companies can charge a higher rate during those months. “It’s a punitive rate. We like to call it the air conditioning tax,” said Sen. Ray Scott, a Grand Junction Republican. “Basically your rate doubles.” Scott wants to put an end to the practice, so he’s co-sponsoring a bill with Senate President Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, that would direct electric companies to essentially get rid of the two-tiered system by June 2020.
