Local knowledge for Ojo Caliente, Taos County
Ojo Caliente is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Taos County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Depending on your address, power in Taos County typically comes from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
