Wildlife, wild weather, and all kinds of wildcards: why exactly does the power go out?
While our 10-year outage numbers are on a solid downward trend, this summer has seen an unexpected uptick in unplanned outages. Have you ever wondered what causes the power to go out?
A special note for members in Aspen, Snowmass, and Basalt about the voltage incident on Friday, 8/16: Parts of our electrical distribution grid were inadvertently fed “low-voltage” power for a short time from our wholesale transmission lines, which can cause damage to unprotected electrical equipment. If you think you experienced damage as a result of this incident, please click here for more information.

A new battery option for Power+
Exciting news for members considering home battery energy storage. Power+ now works with Emporia SolaX batteries, in addition to Tesla Powerwalls.
Power+ provides members with an affordable path to at-home battery storage resilience:
- Pay nothing upfront, with 0% interest repayments on your electric bill

Reports of door-to-door scammers in our area
We’ve recently received reports of impersonators falsely claiming to be Holy Cross Energy workers, telling members that their meters need replacing and demanding immediate payment.
Our field crews always carry identification and drive marked vehicles. We will never ask for money or handle payments at your door.
If in doubt, please always call us to verify any work or staff on your property
