YAMPA VALLEY ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION

Yampa Valley Electric Association (YVEA) is a member-owned electric cooperative serving nearly 27,000 customers over 2,840 miles of line covering a 7,000 square mile service territory that includes the communities of Baggs and Savery, Wyoming; Craig, Hayden, Steamboat Springs, and Yampa, Colorado; and surrounds, but does not include the town of Oak Creek, Colorado... Our vision is to build a brighter future for our member-owners. To bring that vision alive, YVEA employs approximately 75 employees in six departments - Operations, Member Services, Finance, Engineering, IT, and Human Resources. The member-owners elect nine individuals from the general membership to represent them as Board of Directors. Three Directors are elected each year on a rotating basis. Yampa Valley Electric purchases its power from the Western Area Power Administration (a federal power marketing agency) and Xcel Energy.
