Black Hills Energy

From our house to yours, wishing you a safe and Happy Holidays from all of our team members.🎄 ☃️ 🎁

Recently, our President and CEO, Linn Evans, had the chance to sit down with the New York Stock Exchange to discuss some of the big milestones we’ve reached this year. Our eight-state service territory is growing, developing, expanding – and we’re just getting started. From interconnects that expand our energy capacities to renewable energy solutions for a more viable future, we are at the forefront of the industry and are excited to continue this momentum. #NYSEFloorTalk #BlackHillsEnergy

Employees from our office in Council Bluffs rescued an injured Cooper’s Hawk they found on the road in Iowa. With the help of their colleagues and local wildlife agencies, they safely captured the hawk and ensured it received proper care. The hawk was later released back into the wild! 🦅 Thank you to these awesome employees for making a difference! 👏 #PositiveEnergy #BlackHillsEnergy

Earlier this month, we celebrated a decade-long partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation by hosting a tree dedication event. Together, we’ve provided nearly 15,000 free trees to our customers through the Energy Saving Trees program. This partnership has allowed us to make a significant impact, avoiding 32.5 million pounds of carbon emissions, filtering 98.32 million gallons of stormwater and saving approximately 9.2 million kWh of energy. A well-placed tree not only enhances our planet, it blocks summer sun and provides shelter from winter winds — and can help reduce energy costs by up to 20% for homeowners. Our mission of improving life with energy means we must be ready to make tomorrow even better than today. 🌍💚 #BlackHillsEnergy #PositiveEnergy

We hosted a Community Agency Lunch and Learn at our Pueblo Service Center on Oct. 1. Almost 20 attendees from different community agencies joined us for a conversation about Energy Assistance, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy programs and resources that help their organizations and our customers. Insight and feedback from the attendees will help us to better meet the needs of our community. This was a great partnership and networking opportunity, and we look forward to growing the concept in the future.
