As neighboring electric cooperatives, CORE Electric Cooperative and Mountain View Electric Association (MVEA) have a long history of working together to provide members with safe, reliable and affordable electricity.
Some residential and business properties near Deer Trail that currently are served by MVEA have actually been within CORE’s certified service area since 1972. At the time Colorado’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) established CORE’s service territory, our infrastructure was located too far away to affordably serve that area. MVEA’s infrastructure was closer, which helped minimize costs to new property owners who wanted access to electric service. A lot has changed since this partnership was established, and CORE has grown into the rural areas of its service territory that MVEA has served. It is time to start the process of transitioning the electric service at some of these properties from MVEA to CORE.
The project currently has three phases, detailed in the map below. In the coming months, residents in that area may see crews from both CORE and MVEA as both cooperatives prepare the distribution system for the service transition.
CORE Electric Cooperative looks forward to serving transitioned members. Like MVEA, CORE is a cooperative that offers membership benefits that include capital credits, comparable reliability, services and rates. We know affected members will have questions about this transition. As the time to transition to CORE gets closer, a representative from CORE will contact you directly with more information on the transition process.
In the meantime, affected members can call (800) 388-9881 with any questions for MVEA about the service transition of their property. Please ask to speak with a member of MVEA’s Engineering Department.
If you have member, account or general questions for CORE, email membercontact@core.coop or call (800) 332-9540.
