SSVEC has hired and trained experienced energy auditors. These energy auditors will visit your home or business and conduct an in depth energy audit and make specific recommendations on what the home or business owner can do to decrease electric consumption.

In addition, our energy auditors will, where possible, match the recommendations to existing or planned SSVEC programs. Some of the existing programs include zero interest loans for doors, windows, and insulation and rebates for various products. Also included are projects that can be done for little or no cost.

If you are interested in additional information, please call 520-515-3497 or email Energyaudits@ssvec.com and you will receive a call to schedule an appointment.

Solar Flares and SSVEC

WebAdmin — Fri, 06 May 2011 21:48:04 +0000

Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative (SSVEC) researched current information regarding the potential for solar flares to cause failure of our distribution system. The good news is that the likelihood for failure of components of SSVEC’s system is very remote. The bad news is that there is concern for the stability of higher voltage transmission systems, especially those located in more northern latitudes.

Read the November 2010 Solar Flares and SSVEC document for more information.

SSVEC is Energy

The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) was created in 1935 by President Franklin Roosevelt. The creation of rural electric cooperatives under this program included that of Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative, Inc. SSVEC was formed in 1938. Since then, farms, ranches and small communities that did not have electricity were the first to benefit from a reliable, beneficial and economically viable supply of power. Over the years, these once-dark and isolated areas have become thriving centers of commerce, industry, agriculture, culture and quality living.
