We are thrilled to announce that CLP Engineering has recently become an Associate Member of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). This significant milestone marks a new chapter in our commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation within the electric cooperative community.

CLP Engineering, LLC (CLPE) is a sister company of City Light & Power, Inc. (CLP). Since its inception in 1977, CLP has been providing utility solutions and services including ownership, operations, maintenance, upgrade, and construction of electrical utility systems across the country. In 2021, CLPE was formed out of CLP's engineering department to streamline engineering services to our customers. CLPE brings decades of power systems planning, design, operations, and maintenance experiences to provide first-class services to our customers in the Rockies.

As the energy industry transitions from fossil fuel-based energy supplies to more renewable energy resources, localized and distributed renewable energy resources are expected to grow rapidly. Utility distribution systems are also going through a major grid modernization effort where smart grid technologies, distribution SCADA, and advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) are becoming mainstream.

CLP Engineering, LLC (CLPE) is proud to announce its collaboration with the Arkansas River Power Authority (ARPA) to provide Distribution Planning Services to ARPA's six-member utilities. Under the agreement, CLPE will work to facilitate distribution system assessment and planning for the member utilities. Our team at CLPE will undertake an array of tasks, encompassing distribution system analysis, system modeling, studies, documentation, and improvement plans.

Southeastern Colorado Power Association (SECPA) is an Electric Cooperative located in Southeast Colorado and utilizes a Servalent system for all their SCADA needs. SECPA has tasked CLP Engineering (CLPE) to support the SCADA system by evaluating the system, recommending the appropriate updates/improvements, and working with the SECPA operator to implement updates/improvements. CLPE's scope also includes providing training to the operator(s) while performing field modifications. CLPE is excited to be working with SECPA on this project.
