United Power has a wildfire mitigation plan to protect its members and communities. The plan is continuously evaluated and updated to reduce risk.
Operation Round Up is a voluntary way United Power members can give to their communities by having their monthly billing statements rounded up.
The electric industry is progressing rapidly. Our Cooperative Roadmap highlights the co-op's objectives for success now and in the future.
St. Vrain Habitat for Humanity presented two Carbon Valley families with keys to their new homes alongside friends, family, volunteers, and community organizations at a ribbon cutting in January. Among the organizations present at the event was United Power’s Operation Round-Up Foundation.
Habitat for Humanity provides newly constructed homes to families who are positioned for home ownership but are unable to qualify for traditional financing. The organization builds homes from the ground up and sells them at cost to selected families thanks to support from community volunteers. Round-Up awarded Habitat for Humanity a $5,000 grant to help with home construction costs.
“Without the help of community partners like Round-Up, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do for these families,” said Rebecca Shannon, community engagement manager for St. Vrain Habitat for Humanity.
Round-Up is funded entirely by members who voluntarily “round up” their monthly statements to the next whole dollar. The average contribution is approximately $.50 per month. Those funds are then redistributed to nonprofits in various parts of the service territory to ensure as many members receive help as possible.
“We are proud to support community organizations meeting the needs of vulnerable members,” said Joan Kniss, a Round-Up board member. “Habitat for Humanity has a strong track record of lifting people up and lets us see our grant dollars in action.”
Home ownership allows families to put down roots and begin contributing to their local community, Shannon said. Homes are not only built to meet all safety requirements, but are also energy efficient, which lowers the cost of ownership. Selected families are required to demonstrate commitment to their new home by returning volunteer hours helping with the construction of their future homes. Having a hand in building your own home develops a sense of pride in it.
Habitat for Humanity broke ground on a new home in Carbon Valley on March 7. To volunteer, visit www.stvrainhabitat.org.

For the past two years, United Power has hosted its Annual Meeting virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health and safety of members and employees. As public health restrictions ease, the cooperative will offer members an opportunity to gather in person and hear from co-op leadership for the first time since 2019. The 2022 Annual Meeting will be hosted in a hybrid format on April 13, meaning members may also participate online via a livestream hosted on the cooperative’s website.
All members are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to hear from United Power leadership about the exciting ways the cooperative has continued to serve members throughout the previous year. Despite navigating ongoing public safety restrictions from the pandemic, the cooperative managed contract negotiations with its wholesale power supplier while also improving system reliability and continuing to provide the same level of service its members have come to expect. Participating members will receive an attendance gift, and an opportunity to win one of several door prizes.
Voting in the annual director election also provides United Power members the unique ability to voice their thoughts on the cooperative’s future. Each year, your votes determine who serves on the United Power Board of Directors. Your participation in the election is critical to helping the cooperative better serve you.
Five candidates are running for election to the Board of Directors. This year, one seat in the East, South, and West Districts is up for election. The director candidates are Steven “Steve” Douglas, Naptali A. Lucks, and Elizabeth “Beth” A. Martin in the East District; Keith Alquist in the South District; and Ursula J. Morgan in the West District.
The cooperative mails out director ballots in mid-March and encourages all members to vote and return their ballots prior to the deadline. This year, members can participate in the director election electronically through their online account. Voting online is a fast and secure way to submit your ballots and avoid delays in mail handling. Online and mail-in ballots must be received by noon on April 12, or members can vote in person on April 13 at the meeting. Although directors live in specific geographical districts, they represent all members and are therefore elected on an “at-large” basis. Please cast a vote for a director in each district regardless of where you live.
The in-person meeting will be held at the Riverdale Regional Park & Fairgrounds on April 13. Registration opens at 4:30 p.m. and balloting closes at the beginning the official business meeting at 6:30 p.m. The virtual stream will begin at 6:30 p.m. To view the livestream, go to www.unitedpower.com/annual-meeting.
