The Center for the New Energy Economy at Colorado State University (CSU) congratulates Tom Plant on his appointment by Governor Jared Polis to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Tom started his new position on Monday, February 6, 2023.
“When I left the governor’s office in 2011, Tom joined me at CSU at the Center for the New Energy Economy to work with state and federal policy makers on the clean energy transition happening around the country,” said CNEE’s Director, Former Governor Bill Ritter, Jr. “There is no way to fully measure Tom’s contribution to modern day energy policy in America. His input and influence have truly been remarkable. Tom leaves the Center now to become a Public Utility Commissioner in Colorado, another clear manifestation of his deep commitment to public service.”
