CREA is the statewide trade association that represents 21 Colorado distribution co-ops and one generation and transmission cooperative. We work with policymakers, regulators, and other stakeholders at the state and national levels to advocate for policies to strengthen Colorado’s electric cooperatives.
Our members are dedicated to providing safe, affordable, and reliable electricity to it members.
CREA is the unified voice for Colorado's electric cooperatives. We champion policies and lead critical conversations with congressional, state, and regulatory leaders — ensuring our members can continue delivering safe, affordable, and reliable power to rural communities across Colorado. Every day, we fight to keep co-ops strong and protect the people they serve.
With over 40 bills on the table this session, electric cooperative leaders are heading to Denver to protect affordable and reliable power for rural Colorado — but legislative battles ahead will require more than just lobbyists. Find out why the new CREA executive director says the voice of co-op members could be the deciding factor in shaping policies that affect our communities and electric bills.
