About The Co-op | |

The Colorado Rural Electric Association is the statewide service organization representing Colorado's electric cooperatives. CREA, as it is most commonly referred to, was organized in 1945 to provide a variety of services to its member cooperatives. Through CREA, the individual cooperatives share in the advantage of a larger utility operation, but control and ownership is maintained at the local level. CREA is governed by a board of directors made of one representative from each of its member cooperatives. Strength and service exist in numbers. This is the best way to describe CREA. CREA neither generates nor distributes power, but it represents and serves the people who do, as well as almost a million rural electric consumers in Colorado. CREA's membership is composed of the state's 22 electric distribution cooperatives and one generation and transmission cooperative, headquartered in Colorado. CREA is located in Denver and represents the collective efforts of the electric cooperatives in a variety of fields including: legislative representation at the state and national levels, loss control, educational seminars for its directors and employees, youth programs and a communications program that is centered around its monthly consumer publication, Colorado Country Life. In addition, as different issues and needs arise, the CREA staff addresses these on behalf of its member systems. CREA exists as a united service representative for its members. It functions for the mutual benefit of its members to promote rural electrification and to foster the principals on which electric cooperatives were founded.
