Standby Generator Program

Standby Generator Program

Thank you for your interest in the Yampa Valley Electric Association (YVEA) Standby Generator Program.

We offer Briggs & Stratton 12kW and 20kW Fortress generators with 10-year warranties. Our transfer switch is a Direct Power Transfer Switch and is exclusively offered by YVEA within our service territory. Installed costs range from $10,000 to $15,000. The Standby Generator program is offered to YVEA residential members who own the property on which the generator will be installed. The generators will be permanently installed and provide backup power for your entire home.
