In December, the Colorado Governor's Office of Energy Management and Conservation released a new report on financing renewable energy. A link and description are pasted below.

The Handbook on Renewable Energy Financing for Rural Colorado

The purpose of the Handbook is to help you decide whether to pursue the development of a renewable energy project. Sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Colorado Governor’s Office of Energy Management and Conservation (OEMC), the Handbook is part of a larger project called the Industries of the Future program, which among other objectives, seeks to expand the use of renewable energy in the agricultural sector. Many farms and ranches in Colorado are located in areas rich in renewable energy resources and depending on circumstances, it may be possible to save money by deploying renewable energy technologies or selling energy to utilities. The Handbook provides descriptions of commercially available technologies that have potential rural applications covering financing issues; case studies; and lists additional resources.
