Together We Save

EEA and its wholesale power supplier Tri-State Generation and Transmission pay credits to members with active accounts who install qualifying electric water heaters, electric heating systems and/or energy efficient motors, commercial energy efficiency lighting upgrades, and Energy Star® rated appliances. Requests need to be submitted within 120 days of purchase. Contact EEA at 970-565-4444 or 800-709-3726 for more information.

EEA’s Rules and Regulations require you to advise EEA when making any material changes or increases in your connected load. Call EEA Engineering at (970) 564-4406 to schedule an assessment before you purchase your new equipment. Rebates may be denied if you refuse to install required service upgrades.
