Owners of Colorado buildings of 50,000 sq ft or more covered by Building Performance Colorado (private, nonprofit or qualifying public) can get $500k-$2M reimbursement (50-65% of costs) for electrification, efficiency and renewable upgrades. Round 2 closes Oct 23, 2026.
This reimbursement grant pays for building emissions reduction projects, such as electrifying heating and water heating, high-efficiency electric HVAC, onsite renewables and storage, and envelope measures. It is for buildings of 50,000 sq ft or more covered by Building Performance Colorado, so they can meet or beat their emissions targets. Awards are $500,000 to $2 million, covering 50-65% of implementation costs. Round 2 is implementation-only and the final round; its deadline has been extended to October 23, 2026.
