Gunnison Legals

You are hereby notified that Gunnison County Electric Association proposes to make the following changes in its tariffs to become effective January 1, 2008.  The changes proposed will result in an overall annual revenue increase of approximately $1,383,000 or 11%.

Approximately $904,000 (7.19%) of this increase is a direct result of wholesale power cost increases from our power supplier, Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association, also effective January 1, 2008.

The remaining approximate $479,000 (3.81%) is to offset increased Association operating expenses and system improvements needed to continue to provide reliable service for the GCEA membership.

The board, key staff and employees of GCEA certainly understand the effect this increase will have on your household budget and want you to know that we will do everything we can to assist you in the months ahead.  We encourage each of you to be very aware of your energy usage, make wise energy use choices and to utilize community resources available to help conserve and lower your monthly bills.
