Western Fuels-Colorado closes on purchase of Colowyo Mine

Western Fuels-Colorado LLC, a fuel supplier that delivers coal under contract to the Tri-State's Craig Station and Nucla Station power plants in western Colorado, has completed its purchase of the Colowyo Mine from Rio Tinto.
Tri-State is the majority owner of Western Fuels-Colorado, which delivers coal produced at Colowyo Mine to the 1,304-megawatt Craig Station.
"Electricity responsibly produced with coal remains a remarkable value to serve the power needs of the region," said Ken Anderson, executive vice president and general manager of Tri-State. "The purchase of Colowyo Mine ensures Tri-State will have a cost-based supply of coal to generate affordable power for the benefit of our member electric cooperatives."
