Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association Inc. was one of 46 rural energy providers to receive U.S. Agriculture Department loans announced Wednesday. Tri-State will borrow $102.5 million.
The company, based in the Denver suburb of Westminster, serves 44 electric cooperatives in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming. The cooperatives in turn provide power for a total of about 1.4 million people in those four states.
