Description

Mountain View Electric Association (MVEA) is one of the fastest growing mission-driven and member-owned electric cooperatives in Colorado. With offices in Falcon and Limon, our service territory spans 5,000 square miles from the foothills outside of Colorado Springs through the rolling plains of eastern Colorado.

While a lot has changed in our industry since we were incorporated as a not-for-profit electric cooperative in 1941, MVEA still operates on the values we started with years ago—integrity, accountability, innovation, and commitment to community. Today, MVEA is proud to provide safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to more than 58,000 members and over 68,000 meters in portions of eight counties.

Our electric cooperative is financially strong and experiences tremendous growth of over 2,000 accounts per year due to the expanding communities outside of Colorado Springs. MVEA has annual revenues of over $125 million and over 6,400 miles of distribution line. We are a respected leader in the distribution cooperative industry due to a long history of safety, reliable service, member engagement, financial health, rate stability, and employee dedication.
