Internet connectivity is widespread throughout Delta County, including rapidly expanding access to gigabit fiber services. Innovative community leaders worked together and have made unprecedented strides in establishing a fiber network for our communities. This network provides abundant and redundant services to the community to bring affordable broadband into the region. The infrastructure project works with a number of partners including Delta Montrose Electric Association (DMEA), Tri-State Generation, and local, state and federal governments. Therefore, internet connectivity is widespread within Delta County and continuing to be further expanded, including up to symmetrical gigabit fiber services.

Delta County’s high-speed internet enables businesses to operate and individuals to live in a beautiful community with modern connectivity. In our communities you can work remotely, access telemedicine, and take advantage of online learning opportunities seamlessly thanks to locally owned and operated internet companies.

Delta-Montrose Electric Association (DMEA), is a not-for-profit electric cooperative, which has served Delta County (aside from the City of Delta, which maintains its own electric municipality) for more than 80 years. In July of 2020, DMEA transitioned to a new wholesale power supplier, Guzman Energy which empowered DMEA to increase its use of renewable energy and to produce up to 20% of its own power right here in Delta and Montrose Counties. As a major source of infrastructure in the area, DMEA has partnered with Solar Energy International (SEI) on projects in the past, including a Solar in Schools initiative with the Delta County School District. DMEA is dedicated to powering our valley forward with local, financially responsible, and increasingly renewable energy.
