Pueblo is primarily served by Black Hills Energy, with some county areas under San Isabel Electric. Black Hills offers 1:1 net metering plus a Production-Based Incentive: $0.045/kWh for systems up to 30 kW and $0.075/kWh for larger systems. This PBI is paid on every kilowatt-hour your system produces, regardless of whether you use it or send it to the grid. Current rates are tiered: approximately $0.12/kWh for the first 500 kWh and $0.16/kWh above that, with 6–7% annual increases scheduled.

Battery backup is a critical priority in Pueblo. Black Hills Energy has issued PSPS warnings affecting 5,400+ customers during wildfire and high-wind events, and the frequency of these shutoffs is increasing. A battery system keeps your solar running during shutoffs and provides essential backup for critical loads like refrigeration, medical equipment, and communications. Colorado’s battery rebate programs and Black Hills’ incentive structure make the financial case compelling alongside the safety case.
Pueblo stands out from the rest of Colorado thanks to Black Hills Energy’s Production-Based Incentive. You receive $0.045/kWh for every kilowatt-hour your system produces (under 30 kW), on top of 1:1 net metering credits. This double incentive structure is rare in Colorado and significantly accelerates your payback period. Colorado’s sales and property tax exemptions apply as well.
It’s a payment Black Hills makes to you for every kilowatt-hour your solar system produces, regardless of whether you use that energy or send it to the grid. For systems under 30 kW, it’s $0.045/kWh. This stacks on top of net metering credits — a rare and valuable double incentive.
Significant. Black Hills has issued PSPS warnings for over 5,400 customers during recent wildfire and wind events. These shutoffs can last hours or days. Battery backup ensures your solar system continues powering your home during these events.
Excellent. Southern Colorado’s higher altitude and clear skies provide solar irradiance above the state average. Combined with Black Hills’ double incentive structure, Pueblo is one of the most financially attractive solar markets in the state.
