Electric Co-op
Poudre Valley REA
Members Start Free
If your electric bill comes from Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association, you are outside the city utilities and outside Xcel electric, which means a different rebate map. The good news: PVREA members qualify for a free energy audit, and that audit is the plan for everything that follows.
Eligibility
Who qualifies
PVREA serves rural and unincorporated addresses across Larimer, Weld, and Boulder counties.
Rates and rules on this page last verified September 2026. We re-confirm at quote time.
PVREA electric member

Free energy audit
Available to qualifying members. We perform it and hand you the prioritized report.
Gas from another utility
Most PVREA homes get gas from Xcel or Atmos, so gas-side rebates come from that utility and stack with PVREA.
