Y-W will be trimming trees around our equipment in the northern half of our system and within the town of Akron over the next few months.

Tree trimming is an important part of maintaining safe, reliable electric service and helps reduce the likelihood of outages caused by vegetation.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 970-345-2291.

7/20/2026, Our power supplier has notified us that the voluntary load control request is no longer needed. Conditions on the power grid have improved in the Southwest Power Pool. Thank you for your help!

07/21/2026

7/20/2026 Our power supplier Tri-State G&T has informed us that the transmission grid in the Southwest Power Pool balancing area is currently operating at energy Emergency Alert Level 2 in our area. Due to the high temperatures in the Western U.S. the electric demand is higher than normal. This condition could result in an overload condition in some areas. To aid in lowering the demand on the electric grid, Southwest Power pool is asking that our members conserve electric usage as much as you can. Ways that you can conserve electricity may include: raising your thermostat temperature to lessen the run time on air conditioning, avoid using your clothes dryer until cooler temperatures are present in the late evening hours and avoid using appliances that increase the cooling load on your homes (oven). At this point, we do not have an anticipated end time for this event. We will continue to monitor grid conditions and keep you informed of concerns related to the power grid that may affect our area. Thank you for your support!
