DENVER—A Colorado electricity wholesaler and an environmental group have settled a legal battle by agreeing on a broad efficiency study of the utility.
Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association and Environment Colorado announced the deal Friday.
The yearlong study will assess the potential for efficiency measures including reducing demand during peak use times.
In return, Environment Colorado will drop a challenge to Tri-State’s application in Colorado water court to change the use of 20,000 acre-feet of water from agricultural to industrial use for a future power plant.
Tri-State, based in the Denver suburb of Westminster, sells power to 44 electric cooperatives in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Nebraska.
