Lower Valley Energy Board - Election

DEADLINE to VOTE = June 29, 2023

While Lower Valley elections can be a sleepy affair, this race has caught attention as the United States — and Wyoming — navigates the transition from decades of fossil fuel-driven growth to a future where renewable energy becomes a greater part of the American electric grid.

The race also comes as Lower Valley gears up to renegotiate its contract with the Bonneville Power Administration. That’s the federal agency that supplies Lower Valley with over 80% of its energy; primarily nuclear power and hydropower provided by the dams along the Snake and Columbia rivers.

Co-op members can vote in each race, regardless of where they live (Bondurant is part of LVE's Director District 3), but candidates must live in the district they represent.

In addition to current members running for re-election, two new candidates have joined the race:

Max Moran, a civil engineer, is running on the strength of his experience as a professional engineer who designs building energy systemsm to keep energy fcumpsuption - and bills - as low as possible. His professional priorities have been conservation and resiliency. Moran states "We need to make sure that the utility is helping howmeowners reach for [gov't] incentives. Money's on the table, we don't want to leave it there." Co-ops need to submit proposals for this funding, and Moran advocates taking advantage of the opportunity.

New candidate Victoria “Tori” Lee is an occupational therapist with the Teton County School District, running because she is impressed by the co-op model and wants to contribute to her community. As an "outsider to the energy world", Lee is committed to learning as much as she can; she understands residents' financial pressures and is committed to keepingn costs low. "We don't need to increase the financial burden for our members," she stated.

Become acquainted with returning candidates, and new candidates, in your LVE ballot mailing.

If members haven't mailed their ballots yet but want to make sure their votes are tallied, they can drop ballots by Lower Valley's offices in Jackson or Afton - nmo later than June 29. Votes will be tallied at LVE's annual meeting starting at 6 p.m., June 29. Lower Valley's Jackson office can be reached for questions at 733-2446.
