FAQs
Denver Rebate Questions
How do I apply for a Denver commercial rebate?
You apply through the utility that serves your building, not through the City and not through us. Many programs want the paperwork before the work starts.
Check the preapproval column below. If preapproval is needed and you install first, the rebate can be denied.
Does Denver have commercial energy rebates?
Denver businesses that qualify may be able to get utility rebates for lights, controls, heating, cooling, and custom work. What you can get depends on your utility and its current rules.
Rebates are run by utilities, not by the City. That is why the first step is confirming which utility serves your building address.
Which electric utility serves my Denver building?
Most of Denver is served by Xcel Energy, but service can differ by address. Look at your current electric bill to be sure.
Service area lines do not always match city lines. A site near the edge of Denver may use a different utility.
