Southwest Power Stories

Southwest Power Stories is a podcast from La Plata Electric that explores how energy connects our communities across the Southwest. Each month, we share cooperative updates, regional power stories, and real-world examples of how the co-op is supporting local people, nonprofits, and communities. Through conversations with energy experts, community partners, and members, we dive into the ideas, challenges, and innovations shaping our energy future. At LPEA, we believe stories inform, connect, and empower. This podcast is our space to share what’s happening, why it matters, and how we’re working together to build a reliable, affordable, and community-powered future.
