Tesla bids for a new world’s largest Powerpack battery system in Colorado

First, this would be fantastic to help continue to curb Colorado's largely terrible energy mix.

Second, what can we locals do to help make this come to pass?

I guess write to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission and ask them to push Xcel to acquire the system? Not sure how much they can mandate something to a private company, but a little political pressure never hurt a utility. Other than that I'd say call Xcel customer service and tell them if they make a rate rider like they do with their wind farms for this battery system, you'd sign up.
