The utility behind Two Buttes’s bills
The state’s utility-territory map places Two Buttes in Southeast Colorado Power Association territory. As a electric cooperative, it banks exported solar as kWh credits that offset later use one-for-one.
As always, the utility printed on your bill beats any map; we verify it by address before quoting.
What Two Buttes’s setting means for panels

Who approves solar in Two Buttes
Permits for solar in Two Buttes come from whichever office holds building and electrical authority for your address — the town, Baca County, or, in many smaller Colorado jurisdictions, the State Electrical Board for electrical permits. We identify the right office and pull the permits as part of the job.
