Keep the Lights on Colorado
Thank you for helping support Colorado families!
For the fifth year, Namaste Solar led the Keep the Lights on Colorado campaign to provide community solar subscriptions to Coloradans in need. In 2024, we raised $53,000 in total while the campaign has raised over $337,000 since its inception. That’s enough to support over 900 Colorado households with year-long community solar subscriptions. Thank you to our amazing corporate sponsors and to all the individuals who contributed to this effort.

ABOUT ENERGY OUTREACH COLORADO
Energy Outreach Colorado works to expand access to affordable energy for Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income. We work with community members facing energy insecurity so they have a voice in ensuring the equitability of energy access. EOC programs provide a direct impact for the people they serve by helping them afford their energy costs, worry less, and live in a warm and safe home.
- 1 in 4 households struggle with a high energy burden. (Energy burden is defined as the percentage of gross household income spent on energy costs.)
- These households are spending a disproportionate amount of their income on energy bills. The energy burden on low-income households is 3x that of higher income households.
- Households that meet or are below the 80% area median income threshold are often making difficult decisions because their home energy can cost more than 20% of their monthly income.
“This summer, my home was so hot. It was unbearable, but I was afraid to turn on my swamp cooler because the cost was so high. I knew I needed help, and thankfully I was able to get connected to Energy Outreach Colorado. They enrolled me in their solar program, and when I went to pay my Xcel bill, they said I had a zero balance now. I was so relieved, and now I can afford to keep my home at a safe temperature. You all made my summer!” – Paul
