On May 27th, 2025 Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed the Geologic Storage Enterprise & Geothermal Resources bill, and on August 6th it will effectively become state law. This new law aims to support geothermal development and geologic carbon storage in Colorado, and Geothermal Rising is hosting an online Forum-Webinar to present the finer details of the new law, and give stakeholders an opportunity to ask questions to the Colorado Department of Natural Resources offices impacted by this new law.

This event will start with introductions from the hosts; Geothermal Rising and the Hot Springs Association, followed by a webinar style presentation by Kevin Donegan from the Colorado Department of Water Resources (DWR), and Mike Rigby from the Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC). Kevin will walk us through the new DWR online portal and explain the resources they will have available, and Mike will address how the new law will impact geothermal exploration. There will be ample time for audience questions and comments after their presentations, as well as information on next steps for stakeholders.

This is a free event and open to the public.

  • Date: August 6th
