Other communities

Create your own FortZED. Fort Collins Utilities is planning for the future of energy generation and distribution. If you want your community to go the distance and reduce emissions and dependence on traditional forms of energy, contact your utility company. FortZED is different from other net zero energy districts in that it’s in an established, historic, downtown area, where thousands of people live, work and play. You don’t have to be a new community to implement these strategies. Contact the Colorado Clean Energy Cluster for more info or jdorsey@brendlegroup.com, CCEC Director, (970) 207-0058.
