Renewable Advantage

Beginning with the Black Hills Gold Rush, generations of families have relied on us. And we’ve been ready.

We were there when electric lights first lit up the night in Deadwood,South Dakota. We helped fuel a changing economy and experienced how the modern miracle of energy can change how we live.

Since 1883 energy has moved us forward. And it will shape the future.

Our third quarterly Community Giveback event, held at our corporate headquarters, featured 18 different organizations serving our Black Hills community in important and crucial ways. Both our local utility and the Black Hills Corporation Foundation have been making grants to worthwhile nonprofit organizations throughout our history, this is the third time we have hosted a collective recognition event in honor of you, our community partners. 

On Nov. 1, we presented over $460,000 in gifts to these worthwhile organizations. 

Community impact

We are much more than an energy company. We live and work in the cities, towns and rural areas we serve, and we strive to be strong partners in so many ways. We believe in investing in local businesses, giving back to organizations and helping families in need. 

In 2018, we invested over $4.1 million in our communities.

Colorado utilities are required by law to have franchise agreements with the cities and towns they serve. Essentially, a franchise is a contract between the municipality and the utility that outlines the terms and conditions for the utility to operate and provide service within city limits. With the current natural gas franchise expiring, Black Hills Energy and the City of Delta worked together on a new franchise, which the City of Delta’s charter requires go to voters for approval.
