In 2015, CLEER initiated a conversation with Denver-based Energy Outreach Colorado to offer a pilot program of free energy efficiency upgrades for income-qualified households in Garfield County. Building on that success, Energy Outreach Colorado now offers the CARE program in 22 rural Colorado counties.
CLEER continues to manage CARE in Garfield County. Dozens of families from Battlement Mesa and Parachute to Carbondale, homeowners and tenants, enjoy more comfort in their homes thanks to energy efficiency upgrades.
