KCEC invites you to our annual meeting on June 14th, 2025. This important event will acknowledge the achievements of our Cooperative, showcase our ongoing initiatives, and provide you with an opportunity to discuss your concerns. It will be a time for celebration, where we express our gratitude to our esteemed members and highlight the value of a local rural cooperative in Northern New Mexico. This year, all registered members will receive a $15 credit off their electric bill, along with a chance to win cash and prizes!
Some of KCEC’s achievements include:
- KCEC is actively implementing forest fire prevention measures for 2025. The region’s lack of precipitation during winter heightens the risk of wildfires as spring approaches.

- Microgrid Battery Project in Taos Ski Valley, Penasco, and El Rito West: These distributed battery energy storage projects, totaling 7.5 MW, are complete, and a contractor has been selected. Construction is expected to commence in June 2025, with a completion target of June 2026.
- Clean Hydrogen Initiative: This initiative involves 104 MW of renewable energy from hydrogen and solar facilities and battery energy storage systems in northern New Mexico. Funding has been awarded, and the project is in the planning phase. Its completion date is projected to be in the second quarter of 2028.
- KCEC is investing significantly in tree trimming, infrastructure improvements, and system enhancements to ensure reliability, resilience, and community safety. These measures are crucial for mitigating forest fires and maintaining the electrical system at affordable costs.
