Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

More property upgrades qualify as energy improvements
The law expands which property upgrades count as new energy improvements to include work that lowers embodied carbon. Installations or changes must use eligible materials and reduce embodied emissions under state policies. The Colorado Energy Office creates these policies with input from the Office of the State Architect. This change does not specify a direct household payment or tax benefit.
Tax credit expands for cleaner material producers
For Colorado income tax years starting January 1, 2026, or later, the industrial clean energy tax credit covers qualifying production investments. Investments must produce eligible materials and cut their cradle-to-gate emissions by at least 15% against the state baseline. These emissions cover the stages from raw materials through production. The Colorado Energy Office sets baseline standards with input from the Office of the State Architect. The provided text does not state the credit amount.
