Power Ahead Colorado provides home and building owners with a trusted path to healthier, safer comfort, through right-sized heat pumps, expert advising, vetted installers and rebate support. We are powering better homes, stronger communities and quality jobs for Colorado’s clean, healthy future.
Power Ahead Colorado is a program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. In 2024, DRCOG received nearly $200 million from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollutants. This investment powers a regional effort to transform the building sector across the Denver metro area, with a special focus on supporting healthier, more efficient homes in low-income and historically underserved communities.
Highlights
Starting in 2025, we will be:
• Training almost 5,000 workers for the electrification workforce, including 1,000 upskilled workers.
• Engaging millions of Coloradans in the benefits of building efficiency and electrification through a public awareness campaign.
• Assisting homeowners, property owners and small businesses with energy advising and matching them with contractors and heat pump installations.
• By 2050, removing 148.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions – the equivalent of taking 35 million gasoline powered cars off the road for an entire year.
