Gunnison County Electric Association (GCEA) is a non-profit, member-owned rural electric utility delivering electricity to the Gunnison Valley in Colorado.

The organization emphasizes safe, reliable energy and operates with a strong cooperative tradition while planning for the future. Headquartered in Gunnison, Colorado, the cooperative serves a rural customer base through member governance and a community-focused model. As a smaller utility within the broader energy sector, GCEA concentrates on meeting the electricity needs of residents and businesses in its service area.
