Company continues to add smaller utilities in Colorado and New Mexico
Granby-based Mountain Parks Electric has committed to a 20-year wholesale power and energy-management services contract with Denver-based Guzman Energy. The contract begins Feb. 1, 2025, when Mountain Parks leaves Tri-State Generation and Transmission.
Virginia Harman, the general manager for Mountain Parks, cited rate stability, increased flexibility for local renewable power generation, and reliability as being the priorities that caused the electrical cooperative to choose Guzman.
The cost of wholesale power has accounted for approximately 60% of Mountain Park’s nearly $40 million annual operating budget.
The cooperative serves 18,000 members through 22,000 meters spread across Grand and Jackson counties. That includes Kremmling, partially seen in the above photo.
