Reelect Robert Gardner to Holy Cross Energy Board of Directors seat

My name is Robert Gardner. I am running for reelection to the Holy Cross Energy Board of Directors, representing the Southern Director District spanning El Jebel through Aspen

Holy Cross is not your typical electric utility.  It is a not-for-profit, member owned rural electric cooperative serving nearly 60,000 homes and businesses in Eagle, Pitkin and Garfield counties generating over $135 million in revenues each year.  Holy Cross is governed by a seven member Board of Directors elected from and by the member/consumers.  Each Director represents one of three districts within Holy Cross's service territory.

​Holy Cross is not motivated by making a profit.  It is motivated to serve consumers by providing safe, reliable electric service, a progressively decarbonized power supply, affordable electricity competitively priced, and consumer services including programs that foster energy efficiency, conservation and the generation of renewable energy.

Over the past few years, Holy Cross's electric rates have been unchanged and in the lower third of all Colorado electric utilities while refunding nearly $10 million in member equity to members.  At the end of 2020, Holy Cross announced a strategic plan to provide 100% carbon free electricity by 2030 and ended 2020 receiving 44% of its power supply from renewable generation.

"I will continue to dedicate my experience, knowledge and unique understanding of Holy Cross's consumers and service territory, combined with my commitment to provide affordable, reliable, decarbonized electric service for the benefit of the consumers of Holy Cross as a member of the Holy Cross Board of Directors.  I ask for your vote".
