If you need to file a document in a docketed proceeding, but have never used the E-Filings system before, you first need to register.
Use the Filer Registration option located on the left hand side of the screen. Once registered, use the File Document option on the navigation menu inside E-Filings.
It is free to use the Colorado Public Utilities Commission's
E-Filings system. There is a statutory fee to file certain types of transportation application documents,
including new common or contract authority, extensions of common or contract authority,
transfers of common or contract authority, or leases of common or contract authority,
in any combination. The fee to submit these types of filings is $35.00 per submission.
You may file multiple documents in a single submission for the same $35.00 fee.
No other fees apply.
You will need Internet access and a standard Internet browser to use the
online system. No other special software or hardware is required.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later is strongly recommended.
With the exception of maintenance, the online E-Filings system is accessible 24 hours per day.
Searching PUC records is available to all. To access the additional features within E-Filings, you must have a valid account. Use the Filer Registration option located toward
the left hand side of the screen to sign up.
You generally are able to access the E-Filings system immediately after signing up.
If you have a valid online account for the E-Filings System,
you can use the Password Reminder option located toward the
left hand side of the screen to receive an email reminder. This reminder will be sent to the email address
on file for your online account.
