Yampa Valley Electric Association (YVEA) is a cooperative in Northwest Colorado that enhances the lives of its member-owners through technology and consulting resources that deliver clean, safe, and reliable electric service in an environmentally and financially responsible manner. We serve nearly 29,821 meters and over 2,840 miles of line. Our 7,000 square mile service territory extends east to the continental divide, south to almost I-70, north 10 miles into Wyoming, and west to within 25 miles of the Utah border. YVEA is in beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Steamboat Springs and the surrounding area are home to practically every type of outdoor recreation one can imagine. You can ski and snowboard, snowmobile, snowshoe, and take a few hunting trips in the cooler months. The warmer months bring opportunities to raft and kayak, road bike, mountain bike, fly-fish, hike, hunt, and camp all without traveling far from your door. It truly is a recreational paradise- and we get to live here!?
