As the holiday season approaches and the air turns crisp, we’re reminded that this truly is the season of giving. It’s a time for gratitude, generosity, and looking out for one another — and at Southeast Colorado Power Association, that’s something we take to heart year-round.
You’ve probably heard us talk about our concern for community. It’s not just a nice phrase, it’s one of the core principles that makes electric cooperatives like ours different from other utilities. We’re not just here to keep the lights on — though of course, we’re always working hard to do that. We’re here to make life better for the people we serve: our members, our neighbors, and our friends.
Over the years, we’ve faced challenges together, and every time, our co-op family has stepped up. We’ve come together to support those in need, to keep our community strong, and to build something better for the future. That spirit of generosity is never more evident than during the holiday season.
We’re also proud to support local students through the Youth Tour program, where we send some of our community’s brightest young people to Washington, D.C., to see democracy in action and dream big about their futures. That’s giving in the most meaningful way — by investing in tomorrow’s leaders.
And because we care deeply about safety, we also spend time visiting schools, fire departments, and law enforcement agencies throughout the communities we serve, holding demonstrations and teaching folks of all ages how to stay safe around electricity. We believe knowledge is a gift and we love sharing it.
You’ll also find our team out in the community beyond work, such as coaching youth sports, volunteering at local events, serving on nonprofit boards, and partnering with our local chambers of commerce to keep our area’s economy strong.
While the holiday season is a festive time, we understand these can be tough times for many. If you need tips on saving energy to reduce your energy bills, want to explore payment plan options, or you simply have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Southeast Colorado Power Association also offers several rebates on energy-efficient water heaters, heat pumps, electric motors, as well as other items. Please email rebates@secpa.com for more information. We’re here to help, not just during the holiday season, but all year long.
At Southeast Colorado Power Association, we believe concern for community is more than a value — it is the heart of who we are. From all of us at Southeast Colorado Power Association, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful, safe, and bright holiday season.
