How the RTS Fits
Integrates thermal technologies (like solar thermal and geothermal) into our energy portfolio without changing RPS.
Establishes a rebate program for thermal systems funded by a surcharge on natural gas and propane sales.

Solar Power Colorado 2013 ▪ Colorado Renewable Thermal Standard 11
By 2025, the RTS will…
Generate 10,000 jobs
Save energy consumers $100 million
Create $360 million in business forCO companies
Save CO citizens $242 million in health,environmental costs
Offset 9.3 million MMBTU (2.7 million MWh) of natural gas
Eliminate 1.2 billion lbs of CO2 emissions

Geothermal: It’s Solar Too!
2/5/2013
Solar Power Colorado 2013 ▪ Colorado Renewable Thermal Standard 20
Geothermal: System Advantages
Efficiencies range from 300% to 500%
Most efficient and comfortable spacing conditioning technology on the market (EPA)
Eliminates combustion in the building Superior indoor air quality No risk of carbon monoxide exposure
Geothermal reduces annual carbon emissions by 3 tons (NG) to 20 tons (Electric Heat)
Can be installed in any climate2/5/2013

What the RTS Means for Policy & BusinessLaurent Meillon
2/5/2013
Solar Power Colorado 2013 ▪ Colorado Renewable Thermal Standard 27
The RPS-RTS Connection
These policies can support each other
RTS is easier to sell with RPS in place
If the RTS is successful, it sets a model 3rd party administration Statewide program Stable incentives (no stop-and-go) More stable businesses and workforces
Could be used to revise RPS2/5/2013
