Colorado Energy Office Reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and lower long-term consumer costs

The courts told the Trump administration to stop their sloppy federal funding freeze but they didn’t and are still trying to stiff contractors and businesses — which is against the law and a judge’s order. Today we took further legal action to protect Colorado.

NOW is the time!
Colorado high school youth need to apply to participate in the Colorado Youth Climate Summit today. This first time event is free for youth and includes two days of climate solutions education, inspiration, relationship building and climate action planning. We want this to become an annual program for youth in Colorado; so it needs to be full of energy this first time. www.COYouthClimateSummit.org

Microgrids can improve power reliability, reduce environmental impact, save money, and help communities at high risk of outages.

💡 Better Reliability and Resilience: Microgrids can provide backup power to homes and critical facilities (like hospitals or emergency centers) during power outages, keeping services running when the main grid fails. This is especially important in emergencies, allowing communities to maintain essential functions like food, shelter, and communication.

♻️ Environmental Benefits: Microgrids can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using renewable energy sources, like solar, and supporting electric vehicles and energy storage. This makes the energy system cleaner and more sustainable.

💰 Cost Savings: Microgrids can be a cheaper alternative to building new power lines. They can also save money by providing energy back to the grid and reducing the need for expensive transmission upgrades. In some cases, microgrids can even help customers lower their energy bills, especially when powered by solar and storage systems.

✨ Support for Vulnerable Areas: Microgrids are especially useful in areas that are most likely to experience power outages due to factors like poor infrastructure, climate change, or high social vulnerability. These communities are prime candidates for microgrid solutions to ensure a more stable power supply.

🚗⚡️ Big news for Colorado EV drivers! The state has completed its EV Fast-Charging Corridors program, expanding access to 33 new fast chargers across key locations, making long trips and daily commutes even easier.

With over 1,100 fast chargers and 4,400 Level 2 ports statewide, Colorado is leading the way in electric vehicle infrastructure. More than $10M invested, plus additional funding from local governments and private partners, is creating a reliable, convenient charging network. 🔌

Get ready to hit the road with confidence—80% of Colorado’s highways are now within 30 miles of a fast charger! 🚙💨

🔌🌍 What’s a Microgrid?
A microgrid is a small, local network of power that can operate on its own when needed — like during extreme weather or power outages. ⚡

💡 It combines local electricity generation (think solar panels), battery storage, and generators to create a reliable energy source.

🌱 These grids can connect to the larger utility grid, but if there's a disruption, they can "disconnect" and keep powering homes, businesses, and even electric vehicles.

🌟 Controlled by smart tech, microgrids ensure we always have power, no matter what’s happening with the larger grid.

🚗Charge Ahead Colorado Expands with Multifamily Housing EV Charging Lane making it easier to access EV charging!

The new Multifamily Housing (MFH) Portfolio Lane allows developers, property managers, and contractors to apply for funding to install Level 2 EV chargers at multiple multifamily properties with a single application.

More than 50% of new construction in Colorado in 2023 was multifamily, and many of these residents face challenges when it comes to EV charging. This new program helps bridge that gap, supporting a switch to EVs and contributing to cleaner air for everyone.

Since 2013, Charge Ahead Colorado has funded 6,000+ charging ports statewide—now it’s accelerating the shift to EV adoption in disproportionately impacted communities, where many renters lack access to home charging.

Weatherization has many benefits beyond energy efficiency and reduced energy costs. Here are some health benefits:

-Reduced thermal stress (from both heat and cold): Minimizing the physiological stress on a person exposed to extreme temperatures.

-Reduced Respiratory Ailments: Fewer sinus infections, colds, and allergies, and reduced hospital visits for asthma patients.

-Increased Comfort: Reduction in number of days residents report poor mental health and increase in overall well-being.

-Reduced stress from lower utility bills: Better insulation and energy efficiency help reduce energy consumption.

-Remediation of toxic materials: such as lead and mold that can cause long-term health problems.
Better Sleep: creating a more consistent and comfortable temperature in your home, reducing drafts and noise disturbances.
