Boulder launches pilot program to help nonprofits weather Xcel power shutoffs

Boulder has launched the Resiliency Hub Pilot Program to help nonprofits prepare for Xcel Energy's Public Safety Power Shutoffs. The program offers up to $50,000 for backup batteries and energy advisor support, funded by taxes on solar and battery storage systems. Harvest of Hope, a local food pantry, suffered refrigerated food losses during December's shutoffs, highlighting the program's purpose.
