Fiber expansion Trico Electric Cooperative is actively building out a Fiber SmartGrid Backbone and launching Trico Fiber to deliver fiber internet directly to members, signaling a potential opportunity to offer network, connectivity, IT security, and managed services to support fiber deployment, operations, and customer Wi-Fi solutions.

Smart grid growth The fiber integration with smart grid initiatives suggests a demand for advanced data analytics, IoT integration, and scalable cloud-based platforms to monitor and optimize energy distribution, outage management, and asset performance.

Sustainability investments Plans to acquire 80 MW of solar power and 80 MW of battery storage for approximately $43M indicate opportunities to supply or partner on energy management software, DER orchestration, energy trading platforms, and battery management systems.

Community engagement Member-focused programs such as the Member Ambassador initiative and annual membership activities imply a receptive audience for member communication tools, CRM enhancements, loyalty programs, and digital-first customer engagement platforms.

Financial scale With a revenue range of 250M–500M and a mid-sized workforce, Trico presents a solid enterprise customer profile for enterprise IT services, cybersecurity, data center hosting, and scalable cloud solutions tailored to utilities with growing digital infrastructure.
