Reflecting on Progress, Planning for the Future
As we close another year, I want to pause and express gratitude — for you, the members of Southeast Colorado Power Association — for your continued trust and support. Our cooperative was built on the promise of people coming together to improve the quality of life in their communities, and that promise still guides everything […]

As the year draws to a close, we at Sangre de Cristo Electric Association are grateful not only to call this mountainous area of breathtaking scenery and amazing outdoor opportunities home, but we are also grateful to belong to this community — the people and businesses that make central Colorado a wonderful place to live.

A Wonderful Time for Capital Credits
It may sound a bit cliché, but this really is the most wonderful time of the year. The holidays hold some of my favorite memories, favorite traditions, and of course, my favorite foods. Every year I cherish the time spent with family and friends playing card games, opening gifts, and watching football. There is a […]
Finding Ways to Save
Trying to make paychecks go further has been on everyone’s mind. Inflation has dropped, but the latest Consumer Price Index for the past 12 months is 2.9%, which means prices are still going up.

Value You Can Count On
When others raise rates, we have held the line. At Poudre Valley REA, we know how much stability matters, because behind every electric bill is a family making plans and a community working hard to thrive.
