DENVER—Gov. Bill Ritter will travel to Spain next week to meet with renewable energy companies and encourage investment in Colorado.
Ritter says the trip will be a way to raise the state’s profile in Europe and “let them know Colorado is the best state in America to do business.” Ritter, Energy Office Director Tom Plant and Economic Development Director Don Elliman will be in Madrid from July 7 to July 9.
Ritter’s office says the renewable energy companies he will meet with were in Colorado in February.
Some of the foreign renewable companies in Colorado include Denmark-based Vestas Blades and Abengoa Solar and Iberdrola Renewables, both from Spain.
