SANGRE DE CRISTO ELECTRIC
COLLECTING CFL'S TO RECYCLE
Sangre De Cristo Electric is now collecting spent residential compact fluorescent light bulbs at our headquarters located at 29780 N. US Highway 24 in Buena Vista. Through a program offered by our power supplier, Tri-State Generation & Transmission, we will ship the unbroken bulbs to be recycled by Veolia, a leader in recycling technology. The mercury, glass, and metals in the ballast are all recycled. Bring your bulbs to our headquarters and we’ll do the rest.
On December 18th Sangre De Cristo Electric "tipped down" our mini turbine to replace the exising 33" tower with a 50' tower to improve production. Click here to view.

OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS
Sangre De Cristo Electric Association offers a number of scholarship opportunities to dependents of its members this year.
One four-year scholarship at $1,000 per year and eleven $1,000 one-time scholarships will be funded by Sangre De Cristo’s unclaimed capital credits. The Sangre De Cristo Electric board has decreed that they will give preference to one of the $1,000 scholarships for any student attending lineman’s school, noting the industry's need for new lineman in the near future. The cooperative’s bylaws require unclaimed capital credits be held three years. The board of directors then decides how the unclaimed capital credits will be used. This year, they have once again chosen to use some of the money to fund scholarships.
The deadline for applying for any of these scholarships is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 5, 2010. read more
