Customer-owned generation (net metering)

Net-metered capacity in Colorado by technology, MW, with installations and energy sold back to the grid
Year	Photovoltaic (MW)	Battery or storage (MW)	Wind (MW)	Other (MW)	All technologies (MW)	Installations	Energy sold back (MWh)
2021	709.5	1.8	2.6	3.5	722.4	109,167	11,771
2022	848.9	8.3	2.6	3.0	861.3	131,971	15,726
2023	1,077.7	13.4	2.6	10.0	1,111.5	168,983	27,516
2024	1,184.8	16.6	2.5	2.6	1,210.6	188,210	24,315
2025	1,294.6	20.9	2.5	1.2	1,325.4	200,987	16,838

Before 2023, EIA reported storage paired with photovoltaic inside the photovoltaic group; from 2023, batteries are their own group, paired with photovoltaic or not. Neither is added into photovoltaic here.

Net metering by sector, 2025
Sector	All technologies (MW)	Installations	Energy sold back (MWh)
Residential	1,018.9	194,671	15,843
Commercial	268.3	6,170	955
Industrial	38.3	146	41

Distributed generation that is not net metered

A different arrangement: customer-sited or utility-owned generation that is paid or credited some other way, or not at all. EIA reports it separately, and it is not added to the net metering figures.

Distributed capacity in Colorado that is not net metered, MW

2021	4.2	3.6	10.7	6.0	0.6		25.1
2022	4.4	3.6	12.2	5.8	0.5		26.5

We do not restate net metering rules, which change. The rules are with Colorado Public Utilities Commission · the DSIRE policy database (NC Clean Energy Technology Center)

Community solar

Colorado has 209 community solar projects serving customers, 282.7 MW-AC in all, in the National Laboratory of the Rockies' list as of September 2026.

Community solar serving customers in Colorado by who markets the subscriptions, September 2026
Subscriptions marketed by	Projects	Capacity (MW-AC)
Third Party	196	271.0
Utility	13	11.7

In queue: market tracking, not a registry

The laboratory also tracks 423.1 MW-AC as in queue here as of September 2026: awarded, under construction, or likely to come online in the next few years.

Projects in queue change without notice, and many are never built. This figure is kept apart from the capacity serving customers and never added to it.

These counts and capacities are our own sums of the laboratory's project list; its license keeps us from publishing a copy of the list itself. About the dataset
