Trico Hosts USDA Town Hall

Trico Hosts Town Hall Featuring Secretary of Agriculture

November 1, 2024

Trico hosted a Town Hall on September 12, 2024 in support of Arizona Electric Power Cooperative’s selection to receive $485 million in U.S. Department of Agriculture’s New ERA Program funding to transform its power portfolio with major investments in new large-scale solar, battery energy storage, and wind projects.

These new projects will benefit 40 electric cooperatives and public power utilities across Arizona and the Southwest, including Trico.

“In Trico’s case, New ERA funding will support our goal of reducing emissions by 50% by 2032 and these projects will also result in substantial financial savings to our membership – over $60 million across the life of these projects just for Trico Members alone,” Trico CEO & GM Brian Heithoff said.

Over 150 people attended the event to learn more about the New ERA grants and other USDA programs, and to have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Trico has worked hard to earn several grants in addition to New ERA. In total Trico has earned grants that will save its Members around $100 million over the next five years.

Members Enjoy Appreciation Event at Marana Pumpkin Patch

November 1, 2024

Thank you to everyone who attended Trico’s Member Appreciation Event on October 9, 2024 at the Marana Pumpkin Patch. Close to 2,400 Members attended.

Feedback from Members was very positive, and we loved having the chance to celebrate with you.

“That was a huge blast! Great way for families to get together and the kids went crazy with everything there was to do. Thank you for doing this, it was a super fun night,” Cindy Williams said.

In addition to admission to the pumpkin patch, there was a photo booth and giveaways, and Trico staff and Board Directors were on hand to answer Member questions. Lineworkers Bryan English, Martin Mares, Matt Ward and Joe Tsethlikai gave a demonstration on electrical safety.

“It was a great time and perfect venue! What made it the best was when we were heading home, our son (sometimes too cool for us being in middle school) said he had a great time. Thank you Trico,” Anastasia Hartmann said.

We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we look forward to seeing you at a future Trico membership event!
