These incentives are offered to members of Continental Divide through our power provider, Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association (Tri-State).

All available rebate incentives have an online application that Continental Divide submits on behalf of the co-op member. An application cannot be processed until all the information is received by the co-op and forwarded to Tri-State.

Commercial lighting rebates require the submission of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet documenting the types and quantities of lighting installed. General information, instructions and the spreadsheet for this rebate can be downloaded here.

Please allow 3-4 weeks to process. Continental Divide will mail you a check upon receipt of reimbursement funds from Tri-State.
