Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative, Inc.

It would be very nice if NORA would update their lines so that we could join the 21st century. The list of reasons why an outage can occurred is LONG. Yet no one can pinpoint why one is caused. Where I previously lived I could count the number of random outages on one hand in a given year. Here? I've lost count just within the last few months.This. Is. A. Major. Problem. For those of us you heavily rely on electricity, for work and such aside from just general necessity, it's made a drastic impact in a very negative way. If I can't guarantee that I'll have power how can I schedule ANYTHING? I'm tired of having a spike in anxiety every time it rains, snows, I hear thunder or the wind picks up a bit.

My Wife and I would like to sincerely thank Vicente and Brandon for coming to out house Wednesday evening ,finding the problem that caused our power to be totally off, going down on the woods, climbing a pole and fixing it ! They had smiles on their faces and were very polite. They both responded immediately. NORA should be proud to have these two gentlemen working for them Once again Thanks!!! Kurt and Dianne Plouff

If you believe that all New Mexico electric cooperatives are equal in their operation , you are mistaken. Northern Rio Arriba Electric Coop (aka NORA) is at the bottom of the pile. NORA and it's Board of Directors refuse to purchase it's members grid-tied solar electricity at a reasonable rate. A member of NORA who is a grid-tied solar electric producer will be paid the lowest rate possible per KWH, then NORA will charge back to you the highest rate possible. NORA would rather pay Tri-State Energy for it's coal based electric. To say that NORA is member owned and operated is a lie. If you have good environmental ethics and wish to become an solar electric producer with a solar electric grid tied system DON'T expect anything from NORA except negativity.
