“Powering Colorado’s Future” was the theme for the 2018 annual meeting of the Colorado Rural Electric Association February 10-13 in downtown Denver.
The event opened with training classes for electric co-op board members and concluded with Co-op Day at the Capitol. In between there were updates on battery storage technologies, a look at what’s ahead for power suppliers, a look at the national economy with representatives of two co-op banks, a review of industry safety, discussions of legislative issues and the annual meetings for CREA and for Western United Electric Supply Corporation (the co-op materials supplier).
More than 180 electric co-op directors, managers, staff members and employees attended the classes and meetings. They networked, interacted with speakers and went home with updated information and new resources to use as they work to keep the electricity flowing for their members throughout Colorado.
