Background

Over its seven years, CEO's AgEE program provided agricultural producers with dedicated, no-cost technical and financial resources to identify and implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.

 

Although the AgEE program is no longer operational, we are proud to highlight its accomplishments and outline technical resource offerings currently available to Colorado agricultural producers. These resources will continue to assist in ensuring operations become and/or remain as energy efficient as possible.
