Empire Electric Association, Inc. is a member-owned rural electric cooperative that has served our communities in southwest Colorado and southeast Utah since 1939. Our primary mission is to safely, responsibly and reliably meet the electrical energy needs of our member-owners.

• Safely means that we put the safety of our employees and the public above any other concern.
• Responsibly means that we support our communities while providing affordable, equitable and environmentally responsible services for the benefit of our collective membership.
• Reliably means that we work proactively to keep electric service available to our members and diligently to restore service when outages occur.
