Offset Your Energy Use


Offset Your Carbon Footprint by Purchasing Green Power and Donating to Emissions-Reducing Projects

O (Offset) means compensating for the carbon emissions that your daily activities put into the environment by financially supporting emissions-reducing causes and projects. ORE is an Outreach Partner for the Colorado Carbon Fund (CCF) and Project C, who provide high-quality carbon offsets to consumers as a way to support new energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in the State of Colorado. 20% of the proceeds from the offset sales donated to the CCF are re-invested into our local community for projects that reduce energy use and increase renewable energy opportunities. 

Much of these funds go toward financial incentives for participants in ORE programs, such as incentive, loan, or rebate programs. ORE can help you purchase carbon offsets based on your calculated carbon emissions.
