The Yampa Valley Electric Association (YVEA) serves nearly 26,500 meters over 2,840 miles of line. YVEA's service territory extends east to the continental divide, south to almost I-70, north into Wyoming about 10 miles, and west to within 25 miles of the Utah border. The 7,000 square mile service territory includes the communities of Baggs and Savery, Wyoming; Craig, Hayden, Steamboat Springs, and Yampa, Colorado; and surrounds, but does not include the town of Oak Creek, Colorado. YVEA employs more than 60 dedicated staff in four departments – Operations, Engineering, Consumer Accounts, and Finance/Human Resources. Diane Johnson serves as President and General Manager of YVEA. The member/owners of the cooperative elect nine individuals from the general membership to represent them as Board of Directors. Three Directors are elected each year on a rotating basis. Yampa Valley Electric owns no generation facilities. It purchases power from the Western Area Power Administration (a federal power marketing agency) and Xcel Energy.
