What we do
Power Ahead Colorado provides home and building owners with a trusted path to healthier, safer comfort, through rightsized
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.
Who we are
Power Ahead Colorado is a program run by the Denver Regional Council of Governments. In 2024, DRCOG received nearly $200 million in federal funding to help cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. That funding is being used to improve homes and buildings across the Denver metro area by making them healthier, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient. We do this with a focus on helping low-income households and communities that have often been left out of these kinds of investments.
The Denver Regional Council of Governments is a planning organization where local governments collaborate to establish guidelines, set policy and allocate funding in the areas of transportation, personal mobility, growth and development, and aging and disability resources.
Safe, healthy and comfortable homes
Heat pumps are the key to a comfortable, efficient home in every season. Power Ahead Colorado is your one-stop shop to find out if heat pumps are the right fit for your family. We provide financial support, practical advice and the technical know-how to help you make your home healthier, happier and more comfortable.
