DENVER, Colo. (Feb. 4, 2026) — Clean energy technology company Zero Homes has selected Colorado for its next phase of growth, announcing plans to expand in the Metro Denver region and create at least 53 new high-wage jobs tied to home electrification and energy efficiency services.
State officials say the project reinforces Colorado’s position as a hub for clean technology innovation and sustainability-driven business growth.
“Colorado is committed to lowering energy costs and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Gov. Jared Polis. “Zero Homes’ expansion supports our clean energy economy while creating good-paying jobs for Coloradans.”
Tech-Enabled Home Electrification
Zero Homes helps homeowners plan and implement electrification upgrades such as heat pumps through a fully virtual, app-based platform. The company’s model streamlines project design, contractor coordination, scheduling, inspections and rebate processing, reducing costs and complexity for both homeowners and installers.
Founder and CEO Grant Gunnison said Colorado’s policy environment and talent base made it a strong fit for expansion.
“We’re proud to grow in Colorado and support more sustainable, affordable and healthy homes. Heat pumps and electrification solutions are becoming more accessible, and Colorado is backing the innovation needed to scale them.”
High-Wage Job Creation
The company expects to add 53 net new positions in the Metro Denver area with an average annual wage of $140,377. Roles will include software engineers, operations staff and management positions supporting the company’s digital platform and customer delivery model.
Economic developers note that the project aligns with Colorado’s broader push to grow clean tech, climate solutions and advanced digital services.
“Zero Homes’ decision highlights Colorado’s leadership at the intersection of clean tech, innovation and talent,” said Raymond H. Gonzales, President of the Metro Denver EDC.
Competitive Incentives Support Growth
To support the expansion, the Colorado Economic Development Commission approved up to $745,374 in performance-based Job Growth Incentive Tax Credits over eight years, contingent on job creation and wage targets.
Zero Homes previously received an Early State Capital and Retention grant through OEDIT’s Advanced Industries Accelerator Program. During the review process, the project operated under the code name Project Caraway.
The company also evaluated Austin, Texas, before selecting Colorado. Zero Homes currently employs 23 people in the state.
Clean Tech as an Economic Driver
For site selectors and economic developers, the expansion signals continued momentum in:
- Clean energy and climate technology
- App-based service platforms
- High-wage tech job creation
- Sustainability-driven consumer markets
- State-supported advanced industries
Colorado officials say attracting companies like Zero Homes supports both environmental goals and long-term economic competitiveness.
