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.
For more than a year, United Power has had to alter business practices so that it could continue serving members safely and effectively. While linemen continued responding to outages and conducting maintenance to improve reliability, other practices had to change to accommodate members and employees throughout the pandemic.
In June, the cooperative was able to resume normal activities as state officials began easing public health requirements for businesses and public spaces.
Brighton Office Reopens
United Power welcomed employees back when its office location in Brighton re-opened to members on June 1. The cooperative preemptively closed its office locations in March 2020 as the pandemic began and employees transitioned to remote work.
To help members continue to access convenient payment centers, several payment kiosks were installed around the cooperative’s service territory, including its office locations in Carbon Valley and Brighton. A kiosk had previously been installed at the Coal Creek office and another was added in Fort Lupton at the Bank of Colorado Operation Center. The four payment kiosks will remain available for members who would like to continue using them.
In Your Community
For the first time in more than a year, in-person community events have returned, and United Power will play a crucial role in helping make many of them a reality. Not only that, but you’ll see the cooperative present at several upcoming events throughout the summer and fall. Be sure to stop by the cooperative’s booths to say hello. Our employees are ready to see our members’ friendly faces.
Employee Vaccination Clinic
Scheduling a vaccination appointment was a difficult task this spring. With employees returning to the office, United Power hosted a free and voluntary clinic for employees — and their families — who were interested in receiving the vaccine but had been unable to schedule an appointment. It’s one more way the cooperative is ensuring its employees can return to work and interact with members safely.
Carbon Valley Open House
All members are invited to United Power’s Carbon Valley Service Center on August 28 to celebrate the co-op surpassing 100,000 meters. The cooperative will also finally have an opportunity to unveil its newest office location to members in attendance during the celebration.
As United Power and the communities it serves continue the transition out of COVID protocols, the cooperative looks forward to seeing its members again.
United Power reopened its Brighton office to members beginning June 1. For members who have not been vaccinated or are uncomfortable coming into United Power’s office to make payments, the cooperative offers a variety of safe alternatives:

June is here and summer is just around the corner. With many people still working from home as we approach summer, electricity usage is going to be important to watch.
Your air conditioning is one of the most demand intensive appliances in your home, accounting for more than 15 percent of your total energy usage. This means members will begin to see their demand charge rise to include the use of this additional appliance. However, United Power was able to prevent rates from increasing this year, which means summer electric bills should remain fairly similar to bills from a year ago, depending on the weather.
United Power provides free member tools to assist in monitoring and controlling your energy usage. The Power Portal, for example, provides a custom dashboard detailing energy usage patterns and identifying peak demand allowing members to determine what behaviors are driving their demand. The cooperative’s custom demand calculator can give members an idea of what appliances are consuming the most energy and are the greatest contributors to demand charges. With air conditioning being the main driver of summer energy usage, United Power also starting offering rebates on ENERGY STAR A/C units this past summer.
The majority of summer energy efficiency tips revolve around creative ways to keep your home cool without overburdening your air conditioning, which has already been difficult during the early part of the summer.
You can find some of these energy saving tips on our website. For these tips, information about demand, available rebates and more, please visit the Understanding Demand page. For quick and simple energy tips, visit our Energy Savings page.
