About Fort Collins

Old Town Fort Collins

The City of Fort Collins is proud to partner with and host Smart Grid Live 2012.

The City of Fort Collins and Fort Collins Utilities share a strong vision of sustainable practices, conservation, and environmental stewardship. In 2009, the City established a net zero energy district that encompasses the downtown district of Fort Collins and the Colorado State University campus, called FortZED. This project is considered one of the most advanced distribution networks in the world, and the City is committed to progressive initiatives like this among several others.

This September, the City welcomes industry experts and leaders to share innovative ideas that will serve as the basis for power systems of the future.
