The Energy Coalition

The mission of the Energy Coalition Group (ECG) is to enhance and support conservation and renewable energy efforts in the Pikes Peak Region.
Our projects have included building community support for Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) to procure more wind power, urging the decommissioning of the Martin Drake Power Plant and calling for a halt to fracking. With the help of 350.org Colorado Springs and the Southeastern Colorado Renewable Energy Society (SECRES), we hope to organize regular meetings and events.
