Project Background
iCAST, along with its project partners, will develop plans for and implement various demand side management (DSM), energy efficiency (EE), and renewable energy (RE) technologies for two rural electric cooperatives in Colorado. With the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative (SLV REC) they will be demonstrating, through a pilot project, the water and energy savings possible with modern irrigation technology. With the Morgan County Rural Electric Association (MC REA), they will install demand side management controllers for their existing smart metering system to reduce peak irrigation loads.
