General

• Surge Protection
  EEA recommends having an emergency kit on hand so you are ready for any emergency. Include items like a portable radio, batteries, corded phone, and a flashlight. Store this kit in a designated place so it is easy to find. How do I protect appliances in my house? A lightning strike or downed power line can send a surge of electricity through your home, potentially damaging appliances. Computers, TVs, and other electronic equipment are expensive investments that are worthy of protecting from storm-related damage. Surge protectors provide a defense against power spikes and surges.

• Electrical Inspection
  Yes. You will need to successfully complete the application process which requires a safe design and meets all of the requirements in EEA's Interconnection Standard as well as pass a state electrical inspection.

Renewable Energy

• Wind Turbines
  Yes. A net meter service is still connected to the EEA grid and uses it every day. Our grid delivers power when your generation system is not creating enough power to meet your needs like at night for solar or a calm day for a wind turbine. EEA owns, maintains, and operates the grid. That requires money for people, tools and trucks, and replacing grid equipment when it fails or reaches the end of its useful life.  The money we need to keep the grid operating safely and reliably comes from bills paid by members. Our rates are designed to recover our costs in as fair a manner as possible. Net meter members need to help pay their fair share to use the grid, and we recover those costs through the Grid Access Charge and through the Distribution Demand Charge

Wiring

• Underground Wiring
  Colorado law requires underground utilities to be located BEFORE anyone digs. Whether you are a contractor working on a site or a homeowner working around your own home, digging can be dangerous if you don't check for underground wiring, cable or other underground utilities such as natural gas, water, or sewer lines.
