LPEA offers Green Power

La Plata Electric Association’s Board of Directors has approved a price reduction for power supplied from renewable resources. As of January 1, 2008, member/customers can opt to pay a premium of $0.80 per 100 kilowatt-hour block. This is down from $1.25 per 100 kilowatt-hour block.

LPEA offers you the choice to purchase some or all of your electricity as “Green Power,” electricity generated from clean, renewable resources.

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 650 kilowatt hours per month. You may purchase one block per month or purchase all your electricity as green power.

You have several options to sign up for green power. Sign up online, call or stop by our offices in Durango and Pagosa Springs.
