technical terms that are used in the electrical industry and how
distribution lines are planned. This presentation provoked many
questions and provided students with a wealth of information
about electricity.
Grogg discussed line work, the equipment and personal protective equipment the line crew works with, safety working on
the lines, and GCEAs net metering program and solar garden.
He showed the students the equipment the line crew works with
daily such as gloves and hot sticks, and images of the crew working.
Finally, Garrison discussed energy efficiency and how behavior changes can affect energy use. She also explained building
science and how air flows through buildings, what to look for in
an energy-efficient home and how infrared imagery is used with
a blower door test during an energy audit to identify air infiltration and building and insulation anomalies.
If you have an event and would like to invite GCEAs experts to
teach your group about electricity, call 970-641-3520.

GCEA Participates in Ice Bucket Challenge
On October 23, GCEA accepted Holy Cross Energys nomination for
the Ice Bucket Challenge. COO Roger Grogg and the linemen had
buckets of chilly ice water dumped on them to raise awareness for
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and nominated Sangre de Cristo
Electric Association and San Luis Valley Rural Electric Association to
participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge. GCEA will make a donation
to this cause in the hope of finding a cure. To watch the video of
the Ice Bucket Challenge, please visit the GCEA Facebook page at
Gunnison County Electric Association.
