Energy efficiency in agriculture holds immense promise for farming practices. From reducing environmental impact and energy consumption to enhancing precision agriculture and post-harvest processes, electrification is reshaping the way we approach food production. While challenges such as infrastructure and initial investment need to be addressed, the potential benefits for both farmers and the environment make electrification an avenue well worth exploring.

Transmission Maintenance crews responded quickly and in force to restore electric service in southeast Colorado, northeast Colorado and southeast Wyoming after tornadoes damaged three of our transmission lines over a six-day period. Their dedication and skill, along with that of the Engineering and Construction department and Inventory Control department, ensured the resiliency of our transmission system after severe weather extensively damaged or destroyed 40 structures. 

For Tri-State, wind power has become and will continue to be an integral component of the not-for-profit wholesale power cooperative’s generation portfolio, as it continues to advance its landmark Responsible Energy Plan. Along with others around the world, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association Inc. is taking the opportunity today to highlight its growing wind energy portfolio on Global Wind Day, a time to exchange information, reflect on developments over the past year and discuss the future of the wind energy industry. 

Repairing a transmission structure is a huge task even on a warm, sunny day with little wind. But there are situations where lines cannot be taken out of service. Here's how line crews have utilized Sno-Cats for the past decade to respond to year-round outages and maintenance

Tri-State’s mission is to provide reliable, affordable and responsible energy to our members and that work includes planning ahead to avoid risks to our transmission system that can cause power outages.

For companies looking for a way to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on fuel costs and maintenance, electric vehicles (EVs) may be the answer.

Building a new transmission line isn’t just business as usual for Tri-State. Every project requires great care in unique ways and no project is the same.

It's not easy to turn an industry that has traditionally relied on large amounts of energy into a low-carbon business. To brew up the magic, distilleries need to bring in heat. So how can distilleries reduce their carbon footprint while supplying enough energy to keep the processes running? One solution is energy-efficient heat pumps.

Innovation, efficient use of power resources and new ways of implementing beneficial electrification with electric forklifts are helping business owners and investors take advantage of significant co-op rebates and commercial benefits.
