Tri-State Generation Responsible Energy Plan: An Evening with the CEO

Tri-state is a not-for-profit cooperative power supplier with 45 rural electric co-op members including 17 of the 22 Colorado co-ops. It provides power to over one million customers.

Chief Executive Officer Duane Highley will present Tri-State's Responsible Energy Plan and describe the progress towards reaching its goals.

Tri-State is implementing a clean energy transition while being responsible to its employees, members, communities, and the environment. Some highlights:

- By 2024, 50% of the electricity our members use will come from clean energy
- Eliminating all emissions from our coal plants in CO and NM by 2030
- More local renewables for members through contract flexibility
- Expanding electric vehicle infrastructure and beneficial electrification
- Working with communities and employees affected by energy transitions

The program was hosted by Jim Riggins, SECRES Steering Committee Chair.

A question and answer session followed Mr. Highley’s presentation.
