Dear Editor:Â
Tri-State Generation and Transmission, the regional cooperative that Sangre de Cristo Electric Association and 21 other electric coops in Colorado belong to, released their Energy Resource Plan in December.Â
Tri-State is working to update their outdated and broken business model, with the aim of becoming more competitive with other utilities in the state.Â
The changes they are making promise lower rates and cleaner energy for rural customers like us, and a better working relationship between Tri-State and their member co-ops.
Among the promises Tri-State has publicized is a commitment to reduce their carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2030.Â
To achieve this, they promise to retire their expensive Colorado coal assets and invest in cheaper solar energy projects and battery storage instead.Â
