CPS Energy, Tri-State G&T
Rudy Garza is the CEO of CPS Energy. Duane Highley is the CEO of Tri-State G&T. Clint Vince is Dentons US Energy Practice Chair.
Cooperative power and public power are massively important, serving many customers and producing a lot of power in the U.S. That makes them also part of the movement on environmental, social, and governance.
To find out where public power is on the issues, Public Utilities Fortnightly turned to CPS Energy, the nation's largest municipally owned combined energy utility providing natural gas and electric service to over a million consumers in the growing City of San Antonio. PUF also turned to Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, a cooperative power supplier made up of forty-five members, including forty-two electric distribution cooperatives and public power districts serving over a million electric consumers.
Here you will find conversations with CEOs Rudy Garza of CPS Energy and Duane Highley of Tri-State G&T. Moderated by Dentons' Clint Vince. Listen in as they talk about the latest on ESG in their large service territories.
Clint Vince: Talk about Tri-State and then elaborate on why ESG, environmental, social, governance issues are of importance to Tri-State.
Duane Highley: Tri-State is an oddly named cooperative that serves in four states. We're member owned and supply power to forty-two utility members across the panhandle of Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. A big swath of the west.
