The Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder produced a report for the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) that calculated the net economic impacts of the Preferred Colorado Energy Plan on the state of Colorado and on Pueblo County. The study period of 23 years (2018-2040) was selected to encompass the near-term economic activity from changes in capital investments, as well as the long-term effects of changes in operating expenses and electricity rates. The report utilized a two-region, REMI PI+ model to analyze that the Preferred Colorado Energy Plan will result in net economic benefits in Colorado due to the net effects of increases in capital expenditures, lower revenue requirements, and operating expenditures.
