Board Meeting held on January 9, 2025
Board recognizes co-op accomplishments from 2024
Another injury-free year was high on the list, along with power supply and grants
At the conclusion of 2024, MPE celebrated another year without a lost-time incident. In fact, there were no safety accidents of note throughout the year, according to Operations Manager Adam Paulson, which the Board acknowledged as one of last year’s top accomplishments.
Paulson said that it is a tribute to the caliber of the lineman crew, but there are a lot of factors that go into making it through a year with no accidents. He explained there is a good team atmosphere and the linemen look after each other.
Board President Liz McIntyre had this safety accolade at the top of the list of 2024 highlights she noted for the co-op and its departments. Her list also included the lighting of the fiber to MPE’s substations and devices, as well as the agreement with Conexon to take fiber to the home across MPE’s service territory. She included the 10- and 20-year financial forecasts, the cost of service study, and the co-op’s strong financials. There were multiple successful grant applications, requests for proposals, and an unprecedented amount of construction. The Annual Meeting was well received, she said, as were the Member Appreciation and Coffee with MPE events.
“I could not be more proud of Mountain Parks Electric and all that you have accomplished,” said McIntyre.
She also highlighted the effort that went into the withdrawal from Tri-State and the power supply agreement with Guzman Energy. These two items were also mentioned in the General Manager’s Report to the Board.
“This is a hard working group of people and I am extremely proud of the work this team has done,” said GM Virginia Harman. “This is a small team at our co-op and they have done an outstanding job,” she said about the power supply transition and the work on the New ERA grant.
Other Board Meeting Items:
-
Because MPE’s interconnection processes are included in the tariff, the Board voted to remove policy B-10: Interconnection of Distributed Energy Resources from the Public Board Policies. More about the interconnection processes is available at www.MPEI.com/Interconnection and Tariff 341.00.

Looking ahead to the 2025 calendar, the Board will host the August Board Meeting in Kremmling at the Chamber of Commerce and the September Board Meeting in Walden at the Jerlin Wattenberg Event Center. Regular Board Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month.
