Our goal with the REP is stable to lower rates. Over the longer term to 2050, with a more low-cost renewables and a focus on cost management, our rates, adjusted for inflation, are forecast to be lower than they are today.
Today’s consumers increasingly want to buy products and services from purpose-driven organizations that contribute to the greater good. That’s one of the benefits some 42 million Americans receive as members of electric cooperatives.
Communication is a cornerstone of our cooperative. It is important to Tri-State that we not only serve our members’ needs but also build and maintain strong relationships with our member systems.

As an electric cooperative association, we have a particular interest in promoting the cross-benefits of the energy transition and a cleaner electric grid by using electricity to save families money and lower emissions.
Tri-State exists to serve our members and communities, and I can’t think of a better time to celebrate those community connections than during National Co-op Month in October.
