 About New Mexico's Rural Electric Cooperative Members

There are 16 electric distribution cooperatives in New Mexico, 15 of which are members of the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperatives. Nine of the 14 member distribution cooperatives receive wholesale power from Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association headquartered in Westminster, Colorado. Four are members of Western Farmers Electric Cooperative headquartered in Anadarko, Oklahoma; and one distribution cooperative receives power from an independent wholesale power supplier.

There are also three electric distribution cooperatives that are associate members of the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperatives. They are Duncan Valley Electric, Duncan, Arizona; Navopache Electric, Lakeside, Arizona; and Rio Grande Electric, Brackettville, Texas. For more information, click on a co-op's name from the list above.

The New Mexico electric distribution cooperatives have invested over $1.2 billion to provide reliable electric service to their members. They employ over 800 New Mexicans as lineworkers, customer service representatives, engineers, warehouse operators, and other positions.

The cooperatives are active in promoting and providing renewable energy resources and energy efficient rebate programs for consumer-members. They also offer a green power program to consumer-members who have the opportunity to purchase renewable energy.

The cooperatives strongly support their communities. They collectively operate one of the largest non-governmental scholarship programs in New Mexico. For example, the electric co-ops have provided over $14 million in higher educational scholarships to more than 9,600 New Mexico students over the past 32 years. They sponsor youth programs such as the Government-in-Action Youth Tour and provide safety training in local schools.
