romas of roasted turkey, pumpkin pie, and red chile lingering in your kitchen can mean only one thing—Thanksgiving preparations are underway. As you trim your turkey, why not trim your holiday electric bill, too. Here are some energy-saving tips: • No need to preheat the oven. The turkey will cook for hours anyway. • Do not open the oven door to peek in too often because you will lose valuable heat. • Turn your electric oven and burners off near the end of the cooking process. Residual heat will finish cooking the meal. • Use pots and pans the same size as the stove’s burners for efficient cooking. • Remove at once all refrigerated items that are called for in your recipe, so you can save energy by opening the door less often.
CDEC is closed Nov. 26-27 In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, Continental Divide Electric Co-op will be closed Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27, 2020. We will reopen on Monday, November 30. CDEC wishes you and your family a safe and happy holiday weekend!

2021 Youth Tour Canceled The 2021 Government-in-Action Youth Tour has been canceled for New Mexico students amid continued concerns over the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Each year, CDEC holds an essay contest and selects two high school juniors for an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. Both the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association and CDEC’s governing board decided not to participate in 2021, said Mac Juarez, CDEC’s manager of member services. “This is typically the time of year when airline tickets and hotel rooms are booked for the Youth Tour ambassadors. But, it remains uncertain what kind of COVID-19 restrictions could be in place come June 2021, when the tour occurs. The governing boards did not want to make all the accommodations and then have to cancel the trip, which was the case this year,” Juarez said.
