This action-oriented meeting features a simple Mission of a Month to make a difference for our energy future in your community.

State of Tri-State Special Briefing
Zoom Videoconference
Wednesday, September 23 @ 6-6:45 pm
For years, Tri-State Generation & Transmission has been among the costliest and dirtiest energy suppliers across the country. In the past year, member voices and grassroots leadership have won historic reforms for clean energy, coal community transition, and greater accountability at Tri-State. The next year is pivotal to cementing current reforms and closing the deal for Tri-State’s clean energy transition.
Get caught up on all you need to know about what’s happening at rural Colorado’s biggest energy supplier, and what’s coming, with this fascinating deep dive into Tri-State’s current situation. This 30 minute presentation will feature voices from across Colorado on the historic ERP rulemaking underway at the CO Public Utilities Commission, market changes in clean energy and fossil fuels, and what rural electric co-ops can do to advance new local clean energy and jobs.
Register here for this special Zoom briefing happening Wednesday, September 23 from 6-6:30 pm.
