Fergus Electric Co-op

Here is a letter Fergus Electric Co-op wrote to their members about their power situation.

One interesting, contradictory tidbit stands out: According to Fergus, the gas plant is not a given; however, at ECP's February meeting, which I attended, Tim Gregori left no doubt that SME is going to move forward with natural gas. According to this article by the Gazette, he is moving forward with gas.

I'm so glad we are not members of one of these co-ops tied in with SME.

Confusing isn't it?

As long as Mr. Gregori holds out for his coal castle all these poor rate-paying co-op folks will suffer and he will be long gone with his golden parachute.

They (SME) had an opportunity to do it right and cheap with the Judith Gap wind power project starring them in the face in their own front yard. So focused on their coal castle that they missed a golden opportunity. $42 per MW firmed......hmmm!
