State of Tri-State Webinar
2020-09-23 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Denver) | CO
What happens at Tri-State determines the future of clean and local energy in our communities.
Join us for a STATE OF TRI-STATE Special Briefing for a deep dive on what’s happening at rural Colorado’s biggest power supplier – and how you can make a difference.
Register now for this special webinar briefing on Wednesday, 9/23 @ 6PM
The supplier to our rural electric co-ops, called Tri-State, has long been one of the dirtiest and most costly power suppliers in the country – bleeding tens of millions of dollars in excess costs from our communities to subsidize its coal-heavy portfolio. Tri-State’s behavior has often been the biggest barrier to a clean and local energy future in rural Colorado.
Thanks to big victories won by people across Western states in the past year, that’s changing.
Our electricity system is complicated, and Tri-State is no exception. Join us for a deep dive on all you need to know to be a trusted and confident communicator in your community on:

Tri-State’s current energy portfolio and fiscal situation
Movement priorities for Tri-State reform
2019 internal reforms and historic state legislation won by this movement
Coal community economic transition in Nucla and Craig, where mines and power stations are closed or closing
How and why local co-ops have exited or seek to exit the Tri-State system
The federal and state regulatory battles underway now

Tri-State in 2021: What's Ahead for Rural Colorado's Energy Transition, with Tri-State CEO Duane Highley
2021-02-11 11:00 - 12:00 | CO
If you live in Southwest Colorado, your electricity comes from Tri-State Generation & Transmission. Tri-State is the electricity provider for 18 of Colorado’s rural electric co-ops, including LPEA and EEA. What happens at Tri-State makes a transformative difference for the future of our economies, pocketbooks, and our access to the energy technologies of the future.
In 2020 Tri-State announced a vision to power its Colorado co-ops with more affordable, clean energy by 2030, and the next 10 years will be critical for making that vision a reality.
Please join Sierra Club, Western Colorado Alliance, San Juan Citizens Alliance, Sheep Mountain Alliance and other local environmental groups across the state in welcoming Tri-State CEO Duane Highley, who will be sharing with our members what’s ahead in 2021 and beyond for rural Colorado’s clean energy transition.
Following Mr. Highley’s presentation, there will be a question & answer session where attendees can ask questions. RSVP now to save your spot, and we will follow up closer to the date of the event with a link for the virtual Zoom meeting!
