The United Power board approved a retirement this year of $5 million dollars, and that means that every member will get to share in the cooperative’s continuing good financial health.
2017 Capital Credit Retirement to Distribute $5 Million
The United Power board approved a retirement this year of $5 million dollars, and that means that every member will get to share in the cooperative’s continuing good financial health. As the 11th consecutive year United Power has retired capital credits to its members, this $5 million dollar amount continues the commitment to sharing the performance of the cooperative with its members.
United Power, as a cooperative, is a not-for-profit operation. This means the co-op doesn’t work to earn margins for shareholders, but works for the members. Every year the United Power Board of Directors assesses the cooperative’s financial condition, and determines if and how much the cooperative can afford to return to the members.
Capital credits are based on two factors: how much electricity members use, and how long members have been a cooperative member. Essentially, the more power a member uses and the longer the member is part of the cooperative, the larger the share of each capital retirement. Each capital credit account represents a member’s investment into the cooperative, and those investment dollars are used over time to make capital improvements to the electric system.
“Capital credits illustrate one of the ways that cooperatives are very different from other utilities,” said John Parker, Interim CEO. “Our goal is to provide reliable electricity at economical rates, and with our members providing the support for our growing system we can meet the need for new service and keep rates economical. Every time a member receives a capital credit retirement from the cooperative, they receive a tangible benefit from their membership.”
Anyone who had service in 2016 or earlier will receive either a check or a bill credit as part of this year’s capital credit retirement. Any member who has a retirement of $10 or more will receive a check and anyone under that amount will receive a credit on their bill in August or September.
“We will be issuing more than 79,000 checks to our members this year, and many of those checks will be substantial,” Parker said. “Consider some of our largest users like local businesses, school districts, municipalities and farms and you can understand the impact United Power’s cooperative model has on the communities we serve. Large checks to a school district or for town facilities can really help with operational costs.”
Capital credit retirements have returned a steady stream of money back to members in recent years. In the past 11 years, United Power has retired $41 million in capital credits to our members.

A message to United Power members from the cooperative's President & Chief Executive Officer.
Alice:“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”Cheshire Cat: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
This quote from Alice and the Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is often paraphrased, “If you don’t know where you are going, then any road will get you there.” It speaks to the fact that a lack of direction can create challenges instead of opportunities and simply reinforces the status quo.
Having strategic direction, especially in times of significant societal and technological change, is critical. That is why the amazing team at United Power, supported by your Board of Directors, has unveiled the second version of Our Cooperative Roadmap (Roadmap). This document gives the co-op its direction and helps us screen activities in — as well as out.
The Roadmap v1.0 led us to where we are today. We have reduced our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 26% since May 1 and successfully raised $700 million to evolve as an independent utility and meet the needs of our communities and more than 113,000 members. The Roadmap helped us obtain $261 million through the Empowering Rural America (New ERA) Program to support the transition to a cleaner energy supply and hyper-localize our resources. It clarified our technology investments, how we interact with members, and our role in supporting our communities.
Much has changed nearly three years after we unveiled the initial Roadmap. The western United States is edging closer to a power market and new power sources have come online. More members are adding solar panels and purchasing electric vehicles. But much has also remained the same, such as Colorado’s goal of 80% reduction in GHG emissions over 2005 levels by 2030 — a goal we will meet or exceed by helping members such as those in the oil and gas industry achieve their targets simply by electrifying the production facilities.
The Roadmap v2.0 maintains its focus on four critical areas that lie at the heart of what we do as a member-owned electric cooperative:
Empower and Engage with Members and Communities. This critical element ties directly to United Power’s Community Benefit Plan through New ERA. Our dedicated focus on supporting communities and members made creating the benefit plan a simple task for our team.
Provide Flexible, Affordable, Responsible Power and Services. United Power’s hyperlocalization strategy has resulted in significant deployment of battery energy storage systems, with more than 110 MWs spread across nine substations. It already proved valuable during last summer’s peak. This industry-leading deployment means we can benefit from times when power prices are low, using the stored energy when demand (and prices) are high.
Continuously Optimize the Electric Distribution System. As we move toward becoming a distribution system operator (DSO), focusing on local generation and control, our system investments are made with your future needs in mind. We installed a new outage management system in 2024 that, coupled with our advanced metering infrastructure, gives us better real-time operational data.
Achieve and Maintain Business Agility and Resilience. We will be replacing our distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) in 2025 to better manage system operations, and are rolling out a new asset management tool to improve our response times and better manage material and projects.
Underpinning Our Cooperative Roadmap are the amazing women and men of United Power and the foundational responsibilities they bring to running your cooperative every day.
Lewis Carroll’s words resonate for me when he said, “One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others.” It sure sounds so to me.
As always, feel free to reach out to me with your questions, comments, and concerns.

A message to United Power members from the cooperative's President & Chief Executive Officer.
Engaging with our communities is the best part of working for a cooperative. Whether it is answering a direct question from one of our members, supporting local fairs and festivals, or receiving input from our key accounts at quarterly meetings, the insight you provide helps us understand and respond to member needs. Listening to your needs is a critical component of how we operate.
Since I joined United Power in early 2021, we have seen amazing and continued growth. Loads have increased by more than 31% and our projected peak this summer is nearly 700 MW (for context, 1 MW is enough to power 700–1,000 average-sized homes). We have also added nearly 20,000 new meters, which is the size of an average cooperative in the United States. Annually, we add as many members as some smaller U.S. cooperatives have in total.
Ensuring we have sufficient power supply to serve growing loads now and for years to come meant we needed to expand our portfolio of power projects. Our power comes from a variety of technologies, ranging from hydropower and natural gas to solar and battery storage, bringing reliability and resilience to our distribution system and our members. And, of course, many members have added their own solar and storage resources and drive electric vehicles (EV). United Power’s service territory has among the highest penetration of residential solar in the nation and more than 8,000 EVs.
The cooperative is fortunate to have a growing and well-diversified membership base nearly evenly split between oil and gas, commercial and industrial, and residential and small commercial. This allows for a balanced load factor on our system, resulting in high utilization of the electricity we provide for members.
Recently, we have had conversations with our oil and gas members to understand their needs and how we can support them as they strive to meet state regulations. Electrification of the oil and gas industry provides a cleaner way of producing their products and a more efficient use of resources, as is true of many parts of society. Closely coordinating with these members means we can leverage our reduced-carbon generating resources in alignment with their needs.
Data centers are also expanding their footprint in our territory. While some utilities are challenged by the influx of these energy-intensive operations, we encourage these potential members to work with us in a coordinated fashion that aligns with the concept of “growth pays,” as well as our move to expanding our distribution system operator plans.
It is especially important that we hear from our members directly about our $262 million grant through the Empowering Rural America (New ERA) program. One of the cornerstones of the program has been developing our Community Benefit Plan (CBP). We are asking for your input on how our CBP initiatives can help local communities. Our first outreach was at Brighton Summerfest in early June, where dozens of members “voted” for their top three (out of seven) projects to be implemented as part of the CBP. There will be additional opportunities throughout the summer to participate, including multiple days at the Adams County Fair. Members may also let us know their favorite projects on the co-op website. We want to hear from you!
It is a privilege to work with the tremendous people here at United Power, supported by an active and engaged Board of Directors, as we enact Our Cooperative Roadmap. Engaging with our members makes us strong.
As always, please feel free to reach out with your questions, comments, or concerns or if you would like to discuss the CBP or New ERA grant program. I enjoy hearing from you and appreciate your continued support. Have a safe and enjoyable summer.

A message to United Power members from the cooperative's President & Chief Executive Officer.
These are interesting — and exciting — times in the electricity industry. At United Power, we are fortunate to be at the forefront of these changes, and we welcome the opportunities they bring our members and our communities.
As technology advances and the needs of our members change, it is important that we keep in mind the four guiding principles laid out in Our Cooperative Roadmap: Reliability, Affordability, Flexibility, and Responsibility. The Roadmap’s framework allows us to focus on key objectives as we operate a forward-thinking distribution utility.
United Power is one of the fastest growing utilities of any kind in the nation. Our residential membership continues to expand rapidly. Large commercial and industrial businesses are finding a home in our service territory, such as a recently announced solar manufacturing facility — coming in 2024 — and a planned battery manufacturer in Brighton. Dozens of similar facilities have sprung up in just the last two years. The landscape of our service territory has shifted considerably.
Meeting the needs of our residential, commercial, and industrial members will require a combination of operational excellence, the deployment of new technologies, and joining a power market. As more members equip their homes and businesses with solar panels and batteries or drive electric vehicles, it will require United Power to think in new ways and adjust how we manage the cooperative. I am proud of the women and men who work diligently every day to make this happen.
During the next several months, we will select new power suppliers to ensure our members receive lower cost energy from a diverse and carbon-reduced portfolio. Instead of relying on a single power supplier with huge overhead expenses and limited choices, our goal is to have multiple alternatives and increased flexibility. We want to ensure United Power has robust resources and sufficient power supply to meet current and growing demand.
In June, we signed an agreement to work with TEA Solutions, a sister company of The Energy Authority (TEA). TEA Solutions is a not-for-profit marketing organization that provides support for cooperatives like United Power in obtaining electric resources. The organization has decades of experience across the United States, which will be a critical advantage as we make the transition to new power suppliers and energy sources.
We continue to support our oil and gas members, who are trying to meet emissions-reduction requirements. These industries account for 30% of United Power revenue and many of our communities rely on them for jobs and tax revenue. Electrifying oil fields connects them to the cooperative’s distribution system, alleviating on-site emissions production. However, this requires close coordination and planning between these members, United Power, and the State of Colorado. We are committed to working together to facilitate this transition.
Meeting the opportunities presented by our growth and the change in technology requires a different way of thinking, planning, and operating. At United Power, we are continually working to improve our processes and embrace new technologies. By every measure, we have been successful — reliability is at a record high and resiliency is improving across the system. The women and men of United Power, who have support from the Board of Directors, have been doing this for many years. I am honored to work for every one of them.
The electric industry is not standing still, and neither is United Power. We are blessed every day with the opportunity to embrace change in the nation’s most critical infrastructure.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me or anyone else on the executive leadership team with your questions, comments, or concerns.
