Colorado’s Energy Navigation Web Tool: Making Clean Energy More Accessible
In November 2024, the State of Colorado began developing a first-of-its-kind Energy Assistance and Equipment Incentive Screener Tool to take the guesswork out of navigating 500 different state and federal programs. This digital tool is designed to help Coloradans quickly identify the rebates, incentives, and bill assistance programs for which they may qualify by answering a few simple questions in 10 minutes or less.
