| Type | Bill |

| Session | 2018 Regular Session |
| Subjects |
Concerning measures that affect the development of infrastructure used by alternative fuel motor vehicles, and, in connection therewith, establishing a process at the Colorado public utilities commission whereby a public utility may undertake implementation of an alternative fuel motor vehicle infrastructure program within the area covered by the utility's certificate of public convenience and necessity.
Bill Summary:
Currently, resellers of electricity and natural gas may provide charging ports or fueling stations for motor vehicles as unregulated services. The bill authorizes public utilities to provide these services as regulated or unregulated services and allows cost recovery.
The bill allows a utility to apply to build facilities to support alternative fuel vehicles. Standards are set for approval. When a facility is built, the rate and charges for the services:
- May allow a return on any investment made by an electric or natural gas public utility at the utility's weighted average cost of capital at the public utility's most recent rate of return on equity approved by the public utilities commission; and
- Must be recovered from all customers of an electric or natural gas public utility in a manner that is similar to the recovery of distribution system investments.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
