The bulk of the Colorado programs whose funding — according to local officials — remained inaccessible as of a few days ago deal with energy, “climate resilience” and electric vehicle infrastructure.    

At $156 million, the single biggest spending item has been earmarked for expanding solar energy.

The funding amount cited by Gov. Jared Polis and other officials offers a glimpse into how dependent local entities are on federal support. Colorado officials said some of them might have been unfrozen already.

U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper’s office said the majority of the dollars had already been awarded to contractors and the work has already begun. Here’s the list: 

• Grid resilience formula funding from the U.S. Department of Energy — $25,608,964

• Home energy efficiency rebate program from the U.S. Department of Energy — $70,256,845

• State energy program formula funding from the U.S. Department of Energy — $2,825,230

The White House imposed a freeze on federal grants and other funding in late January, pending what administration officials said was a review of previously allocated program spending to determine whether it complied with President Donald Trump’s policies, as well as with federal laws.  

Among the areas Trump officials said would be under scrutiny are programs related to immigration and diversity initiatives, with the administration arguing that federal dollars shouldn’t pay for so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs or spending that promotes illegal immigration.
