Central Colorado Humanists Sunday Science Program for May 3, on the topic of Electricity
Central Colorado Humanists Sunday Science Press Release for May 3.
“Electricity Generation and Transmission” is the title of the Central Colorado Humanists Sunday Science Program for May 3. Lisa Tiffin, Chief Commercial Officer for Tri-State Generation and Transmission, will present an overview of electrical power generation and distribution.
Tri-State Generation and Transmission is the wholesale power supplier to Sangre de Cristo Electric Cooperative, the consumer-owned rural cooperative providing electrical power to portions of Chaffee County. Tiffin will address the need for diversity of options for utility scale power resources and flexible alternatives necessary to provide reliable, affordable and responsible power. Unique contributions of each resource type to the overall wellbeing of the electrical grid plus the contributions of supplier and users to the efficiency and reliability of the electrical grid will be part of her discussion.
Ms. Tiffin’s 30 years in the energy industry have included experience in grid infrastructure, fuel supply, utility operations, planning, and markets. Current responsibilities are regulated resource planning and acquisitions, member flexibility programs, and marketing and trading operations. Her focus is on innovative measures to ensure robust system reliability given that the grid is in transition. She is an active leader in organized market greenhouse gas (ghg) initiatives aimed at improving tracking and reporting of ghg emissions in the west. As a 2023 Rocky Mountain Electrical League Industry Leadership award recipient, Ms. Tiffin is dedicated to actively pursuing industry initiatives that allow rural America to continue to benefit from reliable, affordable, and responsible power.
