The Power of Local Connection: Our 2025 Annual Report

What happens when your electric cooperative is owned by the same local people it serves? You get local decisions made close to home, dollars reinvested in local infrastructure, and a cooperative that delivers consistently high percentages of renewable energy while keeping rates among the lowest in the state.

Join us June 11 at 4 Eagle Ranch!

Speaking of The Power of Local Connection, It’s time for another Annual Meeting! This year, we’re back in Wolcott, and we’d love to see you there.

Annual Meeting of Members
Thursday, June 11, 5:00 p.m.
4 Eagle Ranch: 4098 CO-131 in Wolcott

Join us for a family-friendly evening with:

  • A brief state of the co-op presentation

  • A complimentary member appreciation dinner

  • A new “Watt’s Next” Scholarship Drawing for graduating HS seniors

  • Yard games and bucket truck rides

  • Board of Directors election results

  • Door prizes and giveaways! Including electric bikes, local business gift cards, and other locally made goodies.

Last call to help shape the future of YOUR co-op

One of the best things about being a member-owned co-op? The people guiding our company decisions are your fellow members. No outside shareholders here!

This year, five of your fellow members are running for two seats on our Board of Directors, and every Holy Cross Energy member gets to vote for one candidate in each district.

At this stage, paper ballots may not arrive by the June 9 deadline. To make sure your vote is counted, you can vote online or through your SmartHub account. And before you vote, please take a few minutes to read our full candidate Q&A and hear what they’re about.

It’s your co-op, your voice, and your vote!

Every Line, Every Day: Our Commitment to Wildfire Safety

Reducing wildfire risk is something we work on every single day, not just when conditions get scary. Year-round, our crews are out completing rigorous vegetation management work, high-tech equipment inspections, and state-of-the-art system upgrades along our power lines.

Wildfire season is officially here, meaning now is a great time to familiarize yourself with all things wildfire preparedness.

Click through for some helpful resources on what you can do to prepare, and learn more about what we’re doing every day to keep our members and communities safe.
