Advancing Colorado to a new energy economy.
Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, Jr., issued an Executive Order on April 16, 2007, re-creating the Governors Office of Energy Management and Conservation (originally created in 1977 to promote energy conservation in Colorado) as the Governors Energy Office (GEO). The GEO's mission is to lead Colorado to a New Energy Economy by advancing energy efficiency and renewable, clean energy resources.
The New Energy Economy embraces energy conservation as an important component in our energy future, yet requires a broader mission to meet the goals of expanding renewable and clean energy resources and opportunities for the states economy, environment and energy independence.
The GEO recognizes the critical role it will play in charting Colorados leading role in the provision of clean and renewable forms of energy. The GEO works with communities, utilities, private and public organizations, and individuals to promote renewable energy such as wind, solar, and geothermal, and energy efficiency technologies in commercial and residential buildings. The New Energy Economy will benefit Colorado by bringing jobs and protecting our natural environment.
The GEO also lives its mission and is committed to environmental excellence, energy efficiency, the use of clean energy, and continual improvement in reaching its internal sustainability goals.
The GEO is proud to be recognized by the State of Colorado's Environmental Leadership Program with a "Gold Leader" designation. The program is a statewide environmental recognition and reward program administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Sustainability Program. Gold Leaders, like the GEO, have in a fully operational, facility-specific Environmental Management System (EMS) in place.
