Powering the Future
Reliability is more than a promise
At Tri-State G&T, reliability is more than a promise—it’s our mission. Comprehensive planning, year-round wildfire mitigation, transmission upgrades and more ensure our members will have the power they need today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
We understand that dependable power is the backbone of rural communities. United with our members, we are fortifying the infrastructure, systems, and programs necessary to keep their electricity affordable and preserve their way of life.
Listen to Western WattsProtecting a basic need
Wildfire doesn’t wait—and neither do we. We use science-based monitoring to identify risks early and build mitigation plans that protect both the infrastructure communities depend on and the rural landscapes they call home.

Each plan is evaluated based on cost, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
Transmission that connects the rural West
Wholesale electricity is usually generated far from residential homes and businesses, and moving that power isn’t as simple as flipping a light switch. Tri-State’s transmission system spans four states serving almost 200,000 square miles, and maintaining it is no small task. Over mountains, across canyons and alongside rural farms and ranches—we’re working with our members to make sure their communities always have power, even at the end of the line.
Our Energy Mix
Energy mix refers to the combination of different energy sources—like solar, wind, coal, natural gas—that are used to generate power. Combining different types of generation and energy storage helps Tri-State maintain reliability without sacrificing affordability.
