Tri-State is a Denver based progressive and rapidly growing non-profit consumer owned wholesale supplier of electric power to forty-four distribution cooperatives in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and New Mexico.  With over 1200 employees, Tri-State operates and maintains fossil fuel power plants with owned coal-fired capacity of 1826 megawatts, gas turbines with 526 megawatts of capacity, and over 5000 miles of high voltage transmission lines. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TRANSITION TEAM PURPOSE

Tri-State’s Board of Directors has approved policy changes to how Tri-State will do business and interact with its Member Cooperatives on delivery point facility ownership, operation and maintenance.  These changes require Tri-State to acquire a significant amount of existing Member owned equipment and increases Tri-State’s responsibilities at new delivery points.  In addition, the facilities associated with a number of delivery points that are under construction must be quickly transitioned under the new policy to prevent additional acquisition related work. The Board set a goal of four years to acquire the qualifying Member owned equipment as a part of the policy change.

TRANSITION TEAM POSITION DURATION AND RE-ASSIGNMENT

The transition team will be active for two to four years.  When the transition is completed, the team members will be transitioned into existing functional areas as the nature of the work shifts from transition related activities to long-term workload.

POSITION RESPONSIBLITY

Responsible for assisting the transition team to coordinate with the Members to identify equipment and facilities to be transferred to Tri-State and initiate the internal programs and process changes required for an effective transition.
