CORE’s reliability cooperatives
CORE’s reliability numbers are better than the previous year’s figures for nearly all other Colorado electric utilities, including investor-owned utilities, public power and municipal utilities, and other cooperatives.
They have set a goal of improving the reliability even more in 2022 through continued vegetation management, additional line inspections, and multiple system improvements.
