GCE brings together jurisdictions from around the State to learn about geothermal heating and cooling
Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) are an innovative way to network traditional ground source heat pumps by using a shared ambient temperature loop, usually consisting of a water-filled pipe, between multiple buildings. The networked system can receive waste heat from heat sources or reject heat from cooling systems in a way that dramatically increases the efficiency over individual heat pumps.
On June 6th, 2025 CLEER, GCE, and the Colorado Energy Office hosted "TENs Together: A Technical Exchange for Communities and Developers." Over 100 professionals from around the State, and some from further afield, convened to discuss TENs, ground source heat pumps, and advanced heat recovery systems. Read more...
Resiliency for EV vehicles and charging infrastructure - June 30th
Join us for the upcoming Electric Vehicle (EV) Resiliency Listening Session hosted by Colorado State University (CSU) and Drive Clean Colorado (DCC) on Monday, June 30th, from 11:30 - 1:00 PM at Morgridge Commons in Glenwood Springs. Lunch will be provided.
Resiliency in this context means the ability of EVs and charging networks to withstand, adapt to, and recover from challenges like extreme weather, grid instability, and high energy demand. Garfield Clean Energy and CLEER are partnering on the event and reaching out to entities who are working and participating in the EV space throughout our region. Register here.
Surveys are circulating in the Garfield County region, our partners want to hear from you!
The Colorado River Valley Economic Development Partnership (CRVEDP) is working to make “better jobs closer to home” and help shape the future of our economy—because when we speak up, we build smarter and we build better. Take a few minutes to fill out their Community Survey or Business Survey if you’re a resident or business owner (or might want to be) between Parachute and New Castle.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) reviews Colorado’s transportation needs every four years and creates a plan to guide future investments and they need your help! Transportation dollars are limited, and with a state as large and diverse as Colorado, they must identify how to distribute resources to ensure that we continue to advance fixing our roads, transportation safety, and sustainably increase transportation choices. Please provide your input to help the state make these important decisions. The survey is available here.
