Beginning with the Black Hills Gold Rush, generations of families have relied on us. And we’ve been ready.
We were there when electric lights first lit up the night in Deadwood,South Dakota. We helped fuel a changing economy and experienced how the modern miracle of energy can change how we live.
Since 1883 energy has moved us forward. And it will shape the future.
We are much more than an energy company. We live and work in the cities, towns and rural areas we serve, and we strive to be strong partners in so many ways. We believe in investing in local businesses, giving back to organizations and helping families in need.
Colorado utilities are required by law to have franchise agreements with the cities and towns they serve. Essentially, a franchise is a contract between the municipality and the utility that outlines the terms and conditions for the utility to operate and provide service within city limits. With the current natural gas franchise expiring, Black Hills Energy and the City of Delta worked together on a new franchise, which the City of Delta’s charter requires go to voters for approval.
Working with us can enhance your company’s energy-management efforts. We combine decades of experience with new technologies and innovative processes to provide you with practical, affordable energy solutions. Plus, we work in all aspects of natural gas operations, including landfill gas and biogas facilities.
We offer a free heat loss analysis to our customers interested in an energy cost comparison for their new or existing home. The cost comparison shows electric operational cost savings of specific water heaters and heating and cooling systems installed in a home.
A heat pump can heat your home until the outside temperature’s about 20 degrees before bringing on your fossil fuel heating system. With a heat pump, you get a year-round system that uses refrigeration equipment to supply warm air in winter and cool air in summer.
