  • Colorado regulators are proposing the 3rd straight year of increases in emissions fees.
    • Regulators propose increases of 3%–29%, generating an additional $2.5 million annually for the Air Pollution Control Division.
    • Industrial facilities and some data centers could face higher permitting and reporting costs.
    • Major-source air permit fees would rise from $410 to $530 per hour.
  • Businesses question whether higher fees will improve service, particularly given delays that can exceed two years. They are concerned higher regulatory costs and lengthy permitting timelines could undermine Colorado’s efforts to improve business competitiveness.
  • A hearing is proposed for February 2027 with potential implementation in April 2027.
