Sustainable Rebuilding Program

The Sustainable Rebuilding Program, created by Colorado Senate Bill 22-206 and run by the Colorado Energy Office, offers grants and loans to homeowners, owners of residential rental property, and businesses rebuilding after a wildfire or other natural disaster. The money is meant to fund high-performing, energy-efficient and resilient replacement buildings rather than simply restoring what was lost.

Eligible uses include high-efficiency heat pumps for space and water heating, renewable energy generation, battery storage and electric vehicle charging equipment, along with the cost of achieving advanced energy certifications and of bringing a building up to the current energy code. The Colorado Energy Office may add eligible uses, and may appoint an administrator such as a nonprofit green bank, a bank or a community development financial institution to run the program.

Status, October 2026. Rebuilding assistance is now delivered through the Colorado Department of Local Affairs as the Disaster Resilience Rebuilding Program, alongside the state's other disaster rebuild programs. Neither the Colorado Energy Office nor the Department of Local Affairs publishes a working page for the program — the department's own link to it returns a Not Found error — so the current application window, the award limits and the loan terms cannot be confirmed here. Start from the Marshall Fire assistance page linked above, or contact a county recovery navigator, before relying on this program.

A related Colorado Energy Office electrification rebate for households rebuilding closed to homes permitted after April 30, 2025, with all applications due by April 30, 2026.
