Construction & Maintenance Updates

Get updates on our construction, inspection, and maintenance projects. Find out where and when our line workers and/or contractors will be in your neighborhood.

Ensuring Your Dependable Power

You will oftentimes see our lineworkers and/or contractors in your neighborhood. Our mission is to provide you safe, reliable, affordable, and efficient energy solutions with exceptional service. To do so, we maintain our electrical system in a variety of ways.

Did you know, we have over 4,000 miles of power lines? Vegetation management programs, system inspections, and construction projects are all important aspects of maintaining our electric grid to provide you the power you can depend on.

We will only operate in our rights-of-way, depending on accessibility. If we do not have proper access, we will work with our members to gain access.

Read below to learn where we’re working in your neighborhood. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Working in Your Neighborhood

Here’s where to find information about where our PVREA and contract crews are working in your area. Updated 1/1/2025

Construction

Our lineworkers and/or contractors, Foothills Energy and Altitude Energy, are working on the following projects:

Multiple crews continue to work on installing new underground infrastructure for subdivisions in Windsor, Severance, Greeley, Johnstown, Berthoud, and Timnath.
A crew has begun a 6-mile system rebuild and upgrade along CR 57 from CR 62 to CR 74. The first four miles are complete. We are now working on the remaining two miles with an estimated completion date of mid-February.
Crews have started a new line install and system upgrade of poles and wire for the new Larimer County Land Fill in Wellington near CR 76 and CR 11 and south through private ROW.
Crews are working on maintenance upgrades of old porcelain cutouts to poly cutouts in the Berthoud and Johnstown areas.
Crews are installing a new feeder line north from Hwy 392 along CR 21 to help serve the increasing loads in the Severance area.
Crews are starting a 2-mile system upgrade of poles and wire along County Line Rd From Hwy 402 South to CR 14 in Larimer County and CR 50 in Weld County.
Crews are starting a road widening project along CR 14 east of I25 for 2 miles to widen CR 14, which will have the overhead power lines replaced with underground lines.

Broadband Fiber Installation

Crews are currently working in the Bellvue, Livermore, Red Feather Lakes, and Rustic areas.

As part of our Grid Communication Improvement Project, we use a contractor, MasTec, to install fiber-optic cable on our existing overhead power lines and into our existing underground electric corridors. You may see bucket trucks and crews with boring equipment in your area as we work on this project throughout our entire service territory.
