Since its passage, Colorado has received over $600 million in funding from the Inflation Reduction Act. These include:
- Solar For All: $156 million awarded to CEO
- CPRG: $199 million awarded to the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) for electrification and workforce development, and $129 million to the Colorado Energy Office (COE) for their Colorado Decarbonization Accelerator.
- Home Energy Rebates: CEO’s application was approved and is now waiting for funding to be distributed
As we plan for another Trump presidency, we must maintain a steady drumbeat of positive news related to the Inflation Reduction Act funding, especially as it relates to improving citizens’ lives, lowering energy bills, improving air quality, and protecting public health.
The CO Chapter plans to work with CEO and DRCOG as they begin implementing funding for their electrification programs. The chapter will also mobilize and engage members and supporters to advocate for progressive funding use that prioritizes low-income and disproportionately impacted communities across the state.
