LPEA’s Green Power Program Puts
Renewable Resources to Work for You!

Sign up for Green Power

LPEA’s power supplier, Tri-State Generation & Transmission, purchases renewable energy and its attributes, from wind- generating facilities across the western United States.

We offer Green Power in 100 kilowatt hour blocks for an additional $0.80 per month. The average LPEA residence uses 700 kilowatt hours per month. You may purchase one block per month or purchase all your electricity as Green Power.

A portion of Green Power funds generated each month does remain in Archuleta and La Plata Counties and aids this "local" effort by providing rebates to homeowners who install renewable generation and by supporting renewable projects at schools and non-profit developments.
