United Power announces fast charging station in Keenesburg

BRIGHTON — Front Range energy cooperative United Power has opened its second electric vehicle charging station, the co-op announced Tuesday in a news release.

The charging station is located at the Market Street Mart in Keenesburg. It’s a 62.5 kW direct current fast charger that can be used by anyone with a ChargePoint account. The station will provide much-needed charging for rural electric vehicle drivers between Brighton and Fort Morgan, according to the release.

United Power has also invested in educational resources, from a web portal about electric vehicle education to a live webinar for National Drive EV Week. It also opened its first charging station at its Coal Creek office in 2019.

“United Power has made a commitment to providing innovative technologies that are beneficial for members,” said Energy Programs Director Joel Danford in a prepared statement. “This installation not only helps us continue to fulfill that commitment but also keep pace with the emerging trend toward electric vehicles.”
