Colorado Energy Commission conducts executive session for legal advice on two dockets

In a brief yet significant meeting on May 5, 2025, the Energy and Carbon Management Commission of Colorado convened to address critical legal matters in an executive session. The session, held at 9:30 AM, began with a roll call confirming the presence of five commissioners, including Chairman Robbins, who led the proceedings.

Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Boudreau outlined the purpose of the executive session, which was to receive legal advice regarding two specific docket numbers: 231000313 and 231100343. Following a motion and a second, the commission unanimously agreed to enter the executive session, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality in their discussions.

After approximately 30 to 45 minutes, the commissioners reconvened in public session. Boudreau reported that no decisions or votes were made during the executive session, adhering to the legal guidelines governing such meetings. This transparency is crucial in maintaining public trust, as the commission navigates complex energy and carbon management issues.

With no further business on the agenda, the meeting concluded swiftly, with a motion to adjourn that was met with unanimous approval. The commissioners are set to reconvene for their regular business agenda on Wednesday morning at 9 AM, continuing their vital work in shaping Colorado's energy policies.
