Colorado Clean Energy Cluster
In 2006, Brendle Group's president Judy Dorsey rallied a decade of business relationships to help form the Colorado Clean Energy Cluster, a mass-collaboration that is growing the regional economy around clean energy technologies. In 2012, Judy shifted from her role as the founding Executive Director of the CCEC to Board Member. Judy serves on the Steering Committee and is one of the thought leaders behind Fort ZED, an initiative to transform downtown Fort Collins and the campus of Colorado State University (CSU) into a net-zero energy district, one of the largest of its kind in the world.
Brendle Group is part of a team consisting of leading clean technology companies, businesses, and local government working to make Fort Collins, Colorado home to one of the world’s largest net-zero energy districts. Fort ZED is taking shape in downtown Fort Collins with an innovative mix of smart grid technology, demand management, renewable energy sources, and supportive public policies.
