Heating and cooling are vital for the health and wellbeing of our communities, especially as the changing climate drives more extreme weather and poor air quality. We know that building electrification and efficiency are key to improving air quality, both inside and outside, protecting customers from rising or volatile heating bills, making our homes and buildings more comfortable, and cost-effectively addressing climate change.
The new report, “A Path to Pollution-Free Buildings: Meeting Xcel’s 2030 Decarbonization Goals,” created in a partnership between Western Resource Advocates, NRDC, and SWEEP, details measures to drive a steep reduction in emissions from Xcel Energy, Colorado’s largest electricity and gas provider. The report illustrates the investments needed over the next seven years to meet our climate goals and transition the building sector to clean, efficient, electric heating.
Join our panelists as we:
- Suggest measures to drive a steep reduction in emissions from the gas utility.
- Demonstrate how Xcel can meet Colorado’s targets in a way that delivers the most emissions reductions per ratepayer dollar.
- Discuss the public health and community benefits of clean heat and the costs of delaying a rapid transition.
