Urge Tri-State to Invest 100% in Renewable Energy!

Express Your Support for Renewable Energy Sources in our Region: Tell Tri-State You Support Renewables in their Electric Resource Plan

Submit your Public Comment

Tri-State, our energy coop in San Miguel County, is currently in the process of updating their Electric Resource Plan, a document that lays out their roadmap for providing electricity in the coming years. It outlines new resources that will be needed to satisfy customer demand for power, aging generating capacity that will be retired, plans for meeting state climate pollution reduction goals, and needed transmission upgrades to deliver the electricity it generates, among other resources.

While there are many positive aspects of the plan, including 1,250 megawatts of new renewables and battery storage to be procured through 2031, energy efficiency investments, money for Just Transition investments, and retirement of two coal powered plants, there is one dark spot: a placeholder for building or acquiring up to 290 megawatts of new gas-fired power.

We need YOUR voice to tell Tri State you support pursuing a 100% clean energy generating portfolio, and that you do NOT support building or acquiring any new fossil gas generating capacity in the 2023 ERP.
