Voting is power!
America’s electric cooperatives (like us!) are not only energy providers, but also engines of economic development that play a vital role in transforming communities. Thank you for taking the time to vote this election season!
And remember, as a co-op member, you get to vote every spring for your Board of Directors that govern our organization. Look for our 2025 election information in February
Know the facts before signing on the dotted line

- We are currently already purchasing around 80% clean energy for our entire membership
- We have a vetted list of Preferred Solar Installers on our website
- If you choose to invest in solar, you may get more long-term benefit if you pair it with a battery energy storage system

Colorado can help pay your home heating costs

LEAP accepts applications between November and April. If your income is up to 60% of the state median income level, you may qualify for heating assistance through LEAP.
What to know when driving in snow
Slick and slippery roads increase the risk of vehicle-to-power-pole accidents.
While rare, it’s essential to know some basic safety tips in case you’re in a vehicle accident resulting in a downed powerline:
- Stay in your car. Always assume a downed line is live and dangerous.
- Call 911. Emergency responders will know when it’s safe for you to exit your vehicle.
- Tell others to stay away. A downed line can energize the ground up to 35 feet around it, or more if the ground is wet.
- Bunny Hop – If you must leave your vehicle because it’s on fire, bunny hop out of the vehicle with both feet together and avoid making contact with the energized vehicle and the ground at the same time. This way you avoid being the path of electricity from the vehicle to the earth.
- If you’re unable to hop, shuffle away from the vehicle by never letting your feet leave contact with the ground, in a direction away from all wires and equipment.
