The Price of Going Green is Less Than a Dime
The Board of Directors has approved lowering the cost for Green Power to just 7.5 cents per 100 kWh block of power. The average home uses about 960 kWh of electricity each month, which is 10 blocks of Green Power, so for just 75¢ per month you can go all green.

Poudre Valley REA has offered electricity generated from renewable sources through the Green Power Program for more than a decade. Today we also offer net-metering for all consumers and direct rebates for members who install solar PV panels.

Cimarron I Solar Project
Tri-State has also partnered with Southern Company, Turner Renewable Energy and First Solar to develop a 30 megawatt solar farm in northeastern New Mexico that incorporates 500,000 solar panels.  The Cimarron I Solar Project is the largest solar PV project by an electric cooperative and one of the largest facilities of its kind in the nation. It has been fully operational since December 2010.
You can view a conceptual movie of the solar farm here.

Carter Lake Hydroelectric Project
As the result of a power purchase agreement between the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association, Northern Water is moving forward with construction of a $6 million hydropower facility at Carter Lake west of Loveland. The cooperative agreement will result in 7 million to 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, or enough to power about 1,000 homes. The project will harness the pressure created by existing releases from the outlet to make energy.
