On July 14, 2008, the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) awarded Gunnison County Electric Association (GCEA) and the City of Gunnison a $25,000 matching grant to participate in the Insulate Colorado Program.
By forming a partnership to apply for this grant, Gunnison County Electric Association and the City of Gunnison have demonstrated their support for a regional approach to advancing Colorado's New Energy Economy. They joined more than 40 local governments, including Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte, in offering the Insulate Colorado rebates to homeowners,

The GEO grant provided a 20% rebate, up to a maximum of $300 to qualified applicants. GCEA provided an additional 5% rebate, up to a maximum of $75, for a total possible rebate of $375.
